I want to turn my entire SSD into a full-blown back-up in a fashion that allows me to explore it in the future, without insane hardware. Preferably something managable, like a single ISO file. For which I've found this command: dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/blabla/backup.iso But I'm afraid if I do it, and I clear my SSD afterwards, I might lose all the data. Can someone here confirm that after performing command above, I will (if command completes successfully) receive that iso file, that with specific user-level program I will be able to access all the information that original SSD had?

And this is compatible with my system?

I'm looking for properties of the keyboard to find them myself. It turns out "membrane keys" is what I was looking for.

I'm used to membrane ones, is it rather easy to get used to mechanical ones?

For this computer: I need to find 16GB (2x8GB) of RAM and 240GB SSD for this computer. Could you suggest something from Dutch PCPartPicker: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/ I have no idea what the motherboard is, I hope image above helps. Edit: I bought a typical computer keyboard (I moved from a laptop). But it's noisy as hell, it's one of those "gaming keyboards". Are there any properties I should be looking for when buying a keyboard for it to keep it down a notch?

I literally have HDMI cable that doesn't do crap. It goes for Windows instead.

To my experience the only feed that motherboard submits before reaching operating system is VGA signal. But crazily enough my pre-built doesn't feature VGA. VGA: None DVI-I: None DVI-D: 1 HDMI: 1 Mini DisplayPort: 0 DisplayPort: 1 It has Windows 10 installed but I want to be master of my computer. I'm afraid that if I put new SSD in it, I won't be able to install new OS and there might be some crazy locker that once you take out HDD, it won't reboot the same system, issue I could resolve easily with VGA output. Any ideas on how to approach this? I want to put in new SSD, perform Linux and Windows installation.

I'm swapping my current laptop for a gaming desktop and I'd like to check the difference in power and experience between the two, however I cannot compare them side by side. I tried Unigame Heaven benchmarking, it does tell me raw information, but I don't feel anything hands-on. What type of application would you use to make truly existing performance difference most experiencable?
