Thanks both, gonna try gnome tomorrow on it then, not a fan of it on desktop though but given the environment its worth a try. -
So, my workplace has decide to throw away some old surface pro 3 that have been replaced and in storage for years and they allowed people to take them if they desired, so i decided to snag one for myself, since its basically an over 10 years old computer that has a mere 4GB of RAM i'm just gonna put linux on it straight away, looking up manjaro seems to be the best distro to install on them, as of now i just managed to boot into manjaro with the KDE DE and everything works on it except wifi but the fix seems to be to just install an additional firmware package from the repositories (and i haven't tested the pen which i have cause its looks to be out of battery so i ordered both the AAAA and 2 319 coin cells but i don't have those until tomorrow) Anyways with the very brief time i had booting into the live ISO with KDE it seems to be not great for tablet use which i care cause i mostly snagged to use for drawing, not the best tablet for it but I'm not gonna complain since i got it pretty much for free. Regardless, is there any DE that best suited for tablets? even better if its at least in the manjaro repos but i don't mind hassling around to make it work in manjaro though i suspect it wouldn't be to hard or obscure to do given its arch under the hood where pretty much anything in linux already works on it.

Just finished Cyberpunk, did all endings. Damn, the last time i was this satisfied finishing a game was GTAV when it came out for PC, its a really good game, still some bugs with all the patches though.

Bought a new monitor, from basic 1080p@60hz to 1440p@165hz Gsync compatible, also its IPS.
Dear god, feels like a new world opened, cyberpunk feels like twice as beautiful that in 1080p, and Gsync also feels amazing, i tend to take the tears over the lag and shit frames but not anymore.

Just got delivered my keychron K8 pro with brown switches retiring my 12 year old MS sidewinder X4 also first mech keyboard, already loving the switch out of rubber domes but damn the sidewinder was like low profile in comparison, and i feel like i'm raising my hands a lot, definitely also buying a wrist rest for it.

I rarely browse lists on youtube, but is infuriating that the default behavior is to show the most recent video instead of the whole list. /rant

Like the title reads. Minisforum is showcasing a six liter volumen case design that allows for a GPU to be mounted at the top of the case, like if it were a hat. A design like this basically allow the user to run any kind of GPU regardless of size including the monster that the RTX 4090 is with ease, and since is just a full length PCIe slot, any other kind of expansion device can be used. On the other side there's the disadvantage that is gonna be on the exterior of the case directly exposed to the environment (though given there's people running open cases and the more rare wall mounted PC, this shouldn't be to problematic) And there's the fact that given that this is pretty much a concept, immediately there's things to question, for one Minisforum didn't address how the GPU will be powered and the other is that the slot is the only thing holding the GPU in place, there's not even support braces like test benches or anything, but this isn't a final product anyways so Minisforum should address this issues if they decide to release this to market, right now they are taking feedback on their twitter X post. As far as spec goes, Minisforum say they are working to support both AMD and Intel platform, on AMD they are using the Ryzen 7045HX and on Intel the latest Raptor Lake HX parts, both are mobile platforms but they're at least the fastest mobile platform of both companies and with unrestrained power and better cooling so performance should be close to desktop parts My thoughts Very promising, that's definitely a way to have a small PC but without the size limits on expansion.

22 minutes ago, AlexGoesHigh said:browsing motherboards right now, jesus fucking christ when did motherboards became so expensive, i swear it feels a decent basic good mobo is the cost of a mid- high end mobo of like 3 generations ago.
All I can say is ..... Welcome to the current PC building world.
Wait until you see the price of motherboards that have nifty QoL features like accessible PCIE lock/unlock button, M.2 clip instead of tiny little
bastardscrew, Debug code display, bios flashback button.
Oh wait, that last one actually became common now. But yeah I doubt it came cheap.
