Where are the fans on this thing? Please do not tell me you intend to passively cool a chip you intend to run Cyberpunk 2077 on?
Did we learn nothing from Intel era Apple? Sure, AMD chips run moderately cooler than Intel ones under the same workload, but still…
I like the idea of a plug-and-play emulation station in a retro-styled case, but that case design is copyright infringement territory. Emulation devices are on shaky enough legal ground as it is, we do not need to tempt fate
That is actually the best way of putting it.
I’m autistic also and I understood it just fine.

There are two versions of this meme drawn in almost the same artstyle. Here’s the one this meme is based on, which says “quit having fun”:
This is in fact a redraw of an XKCD cartoon which is one panel and thus harder to make memes out of which says “stop having fun”:
It’s not just you.
I would argue the point that installing in dual boot is any more complicated than a clean install, especially given the state of modern Linux installers
please do not put your actual installed system (read/write) on a flash drive. linux will let you. it will happily install to the flash drive and it will happily boot up. it will let you log in after just a few minutes. plus ten seconds every time you click something.
please don’t use flash drives for anything other than installation media unless you’re using a distro that’s specifically designed to be installed portably and doesn’t do a ton of disk I/O.
OP, please don’t let the other users scare you off. I’ve installed Linux dozens of times on dozens of different computers and have never once lost data while doing it, not unless I explicitly choose the option installer telling it there was nothing I wanted to keep (which is labelled “DANGER - YOU WILL LOSE DATA” in red letters). Linux Mint installer has an option to let you keep your existing OS and install Linux alongside it in a “dual-boot” configuration. This means that when you install, you permanently set aside a portion of the capacity of your boot disk (hard drive, SSD etc.) for use by Linux. The total capacity of your Windows partition will shrink by that much and Linux will live in a new partition in that space (e.g. if you have a 1TB SSD and set aside 250GB for Linux, from then on Windows will start seeing your C: drive as being 750GB large and Linux will have a brand new 250GB volume as its equivalent of the C drive). You can change how much space each OS has down the line, but it’s really annoying and requires you to boot off a flash drive and not be able to use your computer for several hours while it rearranges its data.
After that, each time you turn your computer on, you’ll be asked whether you want to boot into Windows or Linux. (This will come in very handy if Linux borks itself and you need something working to be able to Google for solutions and use your computer as a computer until you can figure out how to fix it. Or if you decide down the road that the Linux way of doing things just gets under your skin and you want to go back to how your computer was before.) While booted into Linux, you’ll be able to access all the files on your Windows C: drive as though it were an external drive, but not vice versa. If you want to send files from Linux to Windows, you’ll have to boot into Linux and copy them over. Note that from the perspective of any apps you install on either OS, your Windows and Linux partitions are two totally separate computers, so expect to be asked to sign in again.
All that said, having backups is never a bad idea if you can afford it. If you can’t, a surefire way to keep Linux installer from erasing your Windows files is to put two SSDs in your machine, one for Windows and one for Linux, and disconnect the Windows one until you’ve finished installing Linux. This is what I usually do, and as a bonus gives more space for both OSes, although it’s by no means necessary.
OP, this is absolutely not the case. If you install in a dual-boot configuration (recommended for beginners), not only will you not lose your data, you won’t lose the ability to boot into Windows. You’ll get asked to choose which OS you want each time you restart and Linux can access all files on Windows (but not vice versa). Secondly, not only is windows not the only OS that markets itself to Just Work™ (that’s been MacOS’s entire shtick since its inception), modern Linux does that as well. You can install software and drivers, manage system configuration, etc. without even knowing what a terminal is. Knowing how to use the terminal is never a bad idea, but rest assured that by no means do you have to, especially when starting out.
I sincerely doubt the person I’m replying to has used a distro marketed towards Linux newbies at any point in the last five years.
It’s fine to not be into whatever you want. If I said I didn’t find Asians attractive, that wouldn’t make me a racist. (I do, for the record, same as I’m into boys of every other nationality, but if I didn’t it would still be a personal preference and no one’s business but my own.)
