The installation is not the problem…
I understand completely and I’m not arguing with you.
They wouldn’t save it from being thrown away if people like you weren’t buying them.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say its bad, just that buying from consumer-friendly companies as new is still better, in my opinion.
Buying used is not as bad but still supports the resale value of consumer-hostile devices, which indirectly supports their new value.
They have their shortcomings but it’s all worth it to have pro-sumer hardware, in my opinion. I just can’t bear to give my money to consumer-hostile companies anymore.
Once again, that’s fine so long as you don’t need the things that don’t work.
one drive kept trying to sync my files when the PC was idle. (One drive was disabled!!!)
Welcome to Windows. Basically the entire operating system is malware at this point.
Mine says 99% Steam Deck and 1% Linux, which is weird considering they’re the same thing.
But probably 50% was on my desktop, which also shows up as Steam Deck under Bazzite.
That depends entirely on what you’re trying to do.
Any advice/links for a beginner
you can start installing Proxmox
