L1Q

Very flexible, I once resized a root partition on my system because I figured swapping is slowing down my system and killing ssd, then installed zram and configured it so it can compress up to 32gb into under 8gb. all fits in 16 gb or my ram, and all that was done without rebooting my system. open source can be buggy, sure, but I can restart my display manager together with entire x server and desktop environment, without losing my work progress or running server processes in the background, all because I can work in terminal and even attach to it from remote. Main reason I moved from windows were not spying or performance, it was that I noticed my uptimes went super low on windows 10. I used to have my system running for 3-4 months before I need to reboot it for maintenance with windows 7, w10 introduced super sexy thin window borders and full screen start menu I just could not leave so went to linux and customized it all to my liking, do I need to mention, with linux uptimes are back to multiple months and I don't install updates if I feel like actually being productive? On windows just moving a window requires to either catch it's title bar with cursor or install third party apps like altdrag to have actual productivity. This can be unstable, breaks sometimes and is bloat willingly built over the system just to have the right feel to it. Any sane linux distro let's you drag windows by holding a (alt or any other honestly) key and a mouse button, and that's out of the box, guys. All apps startup and run faster, sometimes significantly faster on linux. Check out this YT video I've seen couple days ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpE2B2QSsa0 You can easily run emulators with better performance and mount more file systems than windows can, allowing to have windows as a VM, but it's way worse experience the other way. You showed it's possible to even run mac as a client OS, can you do it on windows? Guessed so ? Installing apps is magical experience here on Manjaro, I run "yay appname" and most of the time it's somewhere in AUR or main repos, managed by my system's package manager. Super simple to figure out what takes space, clear cache, uninstall, update, etc.

Compare networking properties of a USB-C to RJ-45 adapter to networking properties of what could be described as "software implementation of such adapter on a router hardware". So yeah networking properties of mobile wireless networks are outside of scope when talking about wired communication standards/protocols. Ok, this is a huge miscommunication. What I mean is normal router that has common networking connectivity including, but not limiting to RJ-45 and wifi, but with USB-C capabilities ready to be used directly with those devices you would buy a dongle for.

bandwidth and latency on a phone are properties outside of scope here, I am not talking about phone internet, but the example of internet over USB-C

For both arguments of "usb is not an internet standard" and "we need new infrastructure" consider using your smartphone as a modem for your PC over usb-c. It's essentially the same: you phone implements "internet over usb" in software and cases where this make sense are not workspaces where ehternet cables are usually run by pro technicians. So my answer so far would conclude in this: USB-C to RJ-45 adapters are in low enough demand that adding a couple USB-C ports to router would be unreasonable.

With recent moves to USB-C in a lot of devices like phones, laptops, and peripherals that often have no other connectivity we are kind of moving to the age of dongles and adapter for RJ-45 are getting increasingly popular. So people are buying an adapter to connect their laptop or phone to a wired network. So here is a thought: why is there no internet router devices with USB-C interface? Benefits of such device: - could be used as a host for storage and peripherals like cellular modems, webcams, and printers for diverse feature set (basically what some routers are capable of with custom firmware project such as OpenWrt) - could be used as a peripheral device for a phone, PC, console or other classes of devices connected with USB-C cable directly to eliminate the need of dongles and potentially reduce sizes of device that would otherwise use RJ-45 port. Yeah, USB specs allow for way shorter ranges than ethernet cables can allow, but for wide range of applications cables up to 8 meters long would be enough. So are there such devices and if no, why?

If your system is stable and you are not adding any more load to it, you don't need an upgrade. If you think your overclock needs more power or you're planning an upgrade (buying new videocard?) then you most likely need to upgrade, but we still need more info.

So if you install it on laptop your problem is soved?

Nice device. Would be cool to play some games on one. Ofc I would like to enter the giveaway!

I want the keyboard coz mine ps/2 logitech is frankly obsolete peace of plastic.
