Two weeks ago my step mother asked me "Can you help my friend connect her PC to the wifi, it runs Windows XP" users are fucking weird.
The actual answer, there is no reason to switch. The vast majority of users do not care about Linux or why they would want to. For us there are lots of benefits and things we enjoy about getting away from Windows but for them "why?"
This is really up to you, if you have the budget/space for dedicated hardware then you will benefit from it. However, if you are on a budget/space constraints then you could setup some containers in docker either running on the system or in a VM then transfer them over in the future.
Has it been confirmed that it is free? I haven't found anything saying anything about it at all.
100% but its a lot easier for a business to go "we need to purchase X number this intel product" vs "We need to spend X on product from some company your non-technical ass has never heard of"
In the consumer/small business space I think we will be fine for options but the intel NUC was great for a lot of business applications and I will miss it!
A legend to the very end, you and the other mods helped keep the fire alive.
I am not OP but since they didn't provide any I went and found some

Personally, I think this is a case of people trying to make the policing issue in the USA a global one. While I acknowledge that many countries, including mine, have problems with policing, I don't believe it is highly controversial to consider hiring someone with a background in law enforcement.
The PCBs and switches for my all-button fight pads didn't arrive before Friday, but I did manage to get the RP2040s in beforehand. Since it's a long weekend and I wanted to play some Mario Maker, I quickly put this together. It takes the keyboard and maps the keys to a controller, and it works really well.
Its the only reason I am still using Plex, I don't know if we will ever get Jellyfin on even half the devices that Plex is on. : (
I wonder if we will ever see a proper return to form for GPU pricing. As you mentioned, most if not all other PC hardware has come down to pre-pandemic pricing but without GPUs joining them it makes budget builds impossible*
Seeing the RX 7600 leap so far ahead in higher resolutions in CS is interesting. Ultimately both seem.. ugh.
I am going to give wefwef a try. I was using Mlem at first but I wasn't a fan. Still a bit worried about wefwef as I wasn't a fan of Apollo at all but willing to try!
Thanks for putting together this list!
I had similar issues with Linux on AMD.
