Will that minipc have those 10g/5g/2.5g ethernet ports? If you don't need that ethernet bandwidth, we all know there are cheaper options.

What are the benefits of built-in encryption versus LUKS ?

I have a friend facing some issues with his RX7700 on Endeavour + KDE.

Talking about desktops, there may be some issues with Radeon RX 7000.

If your hardware is that new, please stick to a distro with the newest kernel, like Fedora. There is a gaming oriented distro based on Fedora, called Bazzite, but I don't know how big its community is, and how much it differs from vanilla Fedora.

There are also a lot of choices in the Arch family, like Garuda, Endeavour, and Manjaro. However, please stay away of those since you probably don't have any experience on Linux. Manjaro is not really Arch, and can face issues with AUR packages, and the rest may break during updates.

Try the distro of choice in live mode. If you have enough RAM (like 16GB+), you can try to download Steam and some small game to see how it works. Keep in mind that, while in live mode, all files are stored in RAM.

I had tried ALVR in the past, on my Quest 2, but it sucked. A couple of months have passed and I should probably test again.

At least they can be used for 2 years. What about single use vapes? Those things have a lithium battery but people throw them everywhere, instead of recycling them.

At least, on mobile devices, it's typically easier to install a privacy-focused firmware (like LineageOS or GrapheneOS). Those AI assistants are completely locked down.

Are you describing WinAmp ?

Maybe the arguments against systemd are issues of the past. I see people, hating systemd, bringing the same arguments of it being unstable, or constantly breaking, again and again.

However, I don't remember actually coming across any of those problems, or discussions about them, for the past 5+ years that I have been using Linux both for my computers and servers.

I have used Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, Proxmox, NixOS. All of them use systemd.

They only problem I remember facing with systemd, which is actually never mentioned by anti-systemd people, is about its containers system, nspawn, which enables some security features by default. Those break things that tend to work with LXC without much tweaking. Docker, for example, may face issues running inside nspawn.

No, they want to migrate from usb-based exploits, to audiojack-based ones
