you say PKM as if it's a specific thing beyond a notepad and an insane dude's scrawlings. I am intrigued. what does your PKM look like?

cool. yea nvidia will be a problem. guess that narrows my choices!

I saw some cinnamon stuff and i still dont get what that means!

whatcha gonna use for gaming?

I'm gonna have to figure out how to install another SSD I guess... hope my motherboard is compatible with whatever is on the Market. I bought it all in asia and apparently the motherboard is an issue

it sounds like debían is better then?

I see! if it can take a while, I see why old machines would be friendlier to linux. more time for drivers to get updates.

thank you for that tip. I currently run all my games and docs from external HDs. (my pc itself only has a small amount of SSD storage used only for booting etc, and i dont know how to install a new hard drive yet...) I would have definitely tried to just plug in my HD and tried to run it through steam lol

I'm not sure what you mean by flew under my radar but I don't really even know what steamdeck is. some kind of handheld console? how's it relevant here?

lmao 🤣 wouldn't that be nice?

Honestly that's kind of the dream (I already have raspi theater plans).

It's sad how much technology has changed since what we thought it was gonna be in the 80s. we HAVE the capacity to do all those things, but we get locked out of modifying our own devices!

GPU is Nvidia. I'm gonna have to look up the words distro, Ubuntu, and debian and get back to you. just to demonstrate where I'm at lol

whelp, I've got a laptop and a desktop. the desktop is old as hell, maybe it's time for a new start. I could set up a new machine to run with Linux
