While I really love the video, I'm wondering why there was no showcase of Ventoy (https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy)- it's a really nice tool that I really can't live without

Hmm yeah, I looked at gigabyte's website and it says that for the v2 edition of the b450m ds3h (which is what I have) ryzen 3000 has been supported since launch. I also did buy it new from amazon

Just went to gigabyte's website and saw this for my board...

It's a low end motherboard so it doesn't have any indicators or speakers, but I'll try and get the bios flashback kit

I don't, however I can contact him, and he offers 30 day returns

Already tried that, as I stated in my first post

As I said in my first post, I don't have access to another machine at the moment, and that includes the one in my signature, unfortunately

It's a b450 motherboard and I've seen reviews from others who say it worked first try, however if it really might be the issue I'll give it a shot

I have a Ryzen 5 3600 and a Gigabyte B450m DS3H V2 motherboard. GPU is a Radeon Pro WX2100 from ebay that the seller claims he's tested. RAM is a 2x16gb kit clocked at 3200MHz. I assembled the PC the day before yesterday, and it wouldn't post at all. Tried taking out the ram modules and testing them individually (same board, I don't have access to another pc atm, just this laptop), and tried changing the GPU slot. When that didn't work I just left it alone until this morning, and upon pulling the CPU out I noticed some thermal paste on the socket and pins, but it wasn't much and I cleaned it off using a toothbrush with some rubbing alchohol on it. I also tried a CMOS clear just in case, and I still don't get any video output. I'm also noticing that the GPU seems to take 15-20 seconds to turn on after the rest of the system, but I have no way of testing the cpu or ram.

Not sure about this, but it's generally a bad idea to purchase parts from aliexpress, regardless of how appealing the price is. It's extremely common to get the wrong parts and wait months to recieve them in the first place. Customer service from the seller is often trash as well

It's the mobile site

Get a 2x16gb kit, as getting 4 sticks will see you without dual rank

Userbenchmark is not inidicative of real world performance, always take what you see there with a grain of salt. I'd recommend watching youtube videos showing their real world performance instead

Ah rip, guess I'll have to grab a different one then. Thanks!

Stupid question, just wanted to double check as I'm looking at getting a video card that won't have all of the video outputs I need. Motherboard is a Gigbyte B450M DS3H v2, cpu is an r5 3600, gpu is a Radeon Pro WX2100

Did you not read a word I said? It takes 5 minutes at most, and considering this is a whole new OS they will be spending a lot of time setting stuff up. Stop expecting this to be a seamless process; one can't jump OSes in a day and be comfortable. It will take them time to adjust regardless, and the terminal is just part of it

Ah I see, I run Arch and I love customization, so I really care what my DE looks like. Personal preference, I guess

KDE is amazingly smooth and responsive, and I personally love the customization it offers

r/linuxmasterrace will flay you alive. All jokes aside, KDE is much better than GNOME

I'm going to have to cut you off here. Newbies hardly need to put any time into learning commands, all they have to do for basic usage is to look at a few tutorials and they're set. Realistically they can learn the terminal for package management initially and use a GUI for other stuff, like file management. Learning the terminal is a gradual process; you make it sound like a newbie should jump right in and learn everything at once. Some newbies do that (I did, for example, and so did some of my friends), but only those who really want to dive into linux. Some users might choose to leave their journey in the terminal at the basics, and some want to dive deeper. Either path is fine, but learning the terminal is not some arduous task like you make it out to be

Hate to be the toxic fanboy here, but for most of us, the GUI does suck. The CLI is a much more efficient way to do things, and it's not just that; linux is built around the terminal. No GUI can give you the level of control over your system that a terminal does, and control over your system is precisely one of the things that we love so much about the OS. Using a GUI to do things like install packages just wastes time, for example opening an app store and searching for an application is slower than running something like yay -S firefox The terminal is meant to be a powerful all in one utility, not something that we have to make GUI frontends that break easily for. The terminal is a robust and efficient way to manage things, hence why experienced users dislike GUIs

Lmfao no, we wouldn't get pissed, this would be our chance to meme windows source code

Hmm, thanks for the advice, I'll take a look

Yeah, neither of those seem practical

We have xfinity so no luck there (awful customer support, as I'm sure you know) As for the second, too late, she knows I was searching and couldn't find any modems inside the price range
