Windows 11 is about to make a lot of people feel left behind, but there’s one operating system that’s recently been getting better and better for new and old hardware…

Don't use Userbenchmark to compare. If you want to game, look up gaming benchmarks. For content creation, look up actual content creation benchmarks.

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

It's not really that it's standardized, although that can be a big plus in some cases too. Telling someone "run this command and everything will be fixed" is way easier than trying to guide someone to a specific button through a GUI over let's say the phone, especially since the GUI can look different from computer to computer.
But when you are dealing with things that can be configured in lots and lots of ways, it's simply not feasible to represent everything in a GUI.
 
Take enterprise switches as an example. This is a list of the different commands you can type in Cisco's OS they use on most switches. The document is 580 pages long and it's just page after page of commands you can use.
I tried counting them but it's a bit difficult. But it seems to be around 21,000 different commands, and that's without the different parameters. For example the command "Channel-group" can be configured in active, passive or on mode. So that single command is actually three commands in one but it's only listed once in the documentation.
 
Try creating a program with over 21,000 different buttons. It would be a nightmare to use. But doing the configuration in CLI is easy as pie because it's very well structured and build in a hierarchic way with guides and you can see which commands are applicable in the structure you are currently located.
 
 
And FFMpeg that Kisai mentioned is another great example. There are programs that are graphical frontends for FFMpeg, for example Handbrake. But even those programs has a command line mode hidden in the advanced settings. Why? Because even though the graphic interface exposes the most commonly used parameters, there are way too many options to feasibly show in a graphical way. Plus, being able to write in numbers and letters for things gives way more precision than some slider or on/off button (and if you try and implement writable text windows to give control you might as well just use the CLI anyway, because you'll have 100 text boxes as the "GUI").
 
 
And on top of all of that, GUIs can not be automated in any kind of satisfactory way, nor can they implement things like recursion well.
CLI is simply exposes way more features and are far more flexible than GUIs. 

Every security expert worth their salt will tell you that security through obscurity is a bad idea. A system needs to be robust even if everyone knows how it works precisely because you can't guarantee something like this won't happen.
 
Linux has been around for almost 30 years and it hasn't been any more prone to critical vulnerabilities and exploits being found than Windows despite being run on some very valuable servers over the years AND being completely open source. Open source being less secure is a myth propagated by corporations making terrible proprietary software looking for excuses when their bad security fails.
You mean the vulnerability that was found by security researchers and eventually fixed rather than left to rot for 10 years while black hats had time to find it for themselves and keep it a secret?

It doesn't, but try pushing it back to stock

Oh yeah, I agree with that hahahah.
Not only that, you also can not key in voltages manually; offset is the only option.
 
The AsRock B450M Pro that @ImAyaanKhan has should be better.
 
Yeah, I don't think 4.7 GHz is possible / stable.
Setting it and clicking "apply" is one thing, but actually running a stress test, or daily using it and it not crashing is another.
 
80°C idle with a big 280mm / 360mm AIO?
Uhhh... something is not right there...

What is the Core Voltage it is being actually applied?
Like I said, if baseline voltage is 1.35V, and you are adding +0.300V to it, that is already TOO MUCH.
 
If you are adding +0.250V at once, that is quite a bit -- you should be increasing the Core Voltage little by little.
Little as in +0.025V or +0.050V at a time.
 
Ryzen 2700 should be able to reach 4.0 GHz ~ 4.1 GHz with around 1.4xxV, or even with 1.3xxV in some cases.
4.2 GHz you are looking at something above 1.40V.
If you are pushing 1.5V+, and still only getting 3.9 GHz...

all of us lol 

Be aware that a 3100 can be brought within a sliver of the performance of the 3300x even with the stock cooler

It can, however you can run a stable overclock for years without any issues

590 is an overclocked 580. Nothing special about it. Unless OP can get one for the same price or cheaper as a 580, there is no point to get it.

No, not really. RX 580 will be plenty for 1080p probably for another 3 years.

Hm, alright. Well, if you can't find it used, I'd still get a 580 (new, obviously).

Used 580, maybe. Would be a cheap, solid card. Wouldn't be surprised if you could find one for 100.

It's probably broken sensor
But imo broken sensor better than a bricked GPU

Makes sense, as legacy mode disables EFI

FOUND THE ISSUE IT WAS set to only boot in legacy mode so it kept stopping just before loading.

that's his result. There are plenty of 2nd gen CPUs that can't do over 4.15GHz if not less even with 240 or larger AIOs.

The only motherboards that can't overclock Ryzen are A320, and there's not a single A320 motherboard I'd recommend with a 3950X
 
so you'll always have the option

130fps on Ultra in BF5? Don't kid yourself, that's hard even for 9900K+2080Ti, even on 1080p.

for the example u gave, it isn't worth it, but i've seen worse. Just make sure the seller has good feedback and pay through paypal.
