3rd gen i7 is outdated

Even a 8th gen i7 struggles to keep cool and quiet compared to Ryzens from 2019 onwards running the same stack

AMD is the gold standard for general user PCs in the last 5+ years. Intel simply cannot compete at the same energy expenditure/performance. At the same/close price/performance, Intel either burn a small thermonuclear power plant to deliver comparable performance, or simply is worse compared to similar Ryzens

Ryzens are like aliens compared to what AMD used to be before them

So I'd go with them

As for the GPU, if you want to use Linux forget Nvidia

Yeah, it's advertised as 160hz and even amdgpu_top (which uses xrandr or something like it) says 159.96hz is the first preferred mode, the second being 100hz

I had this problem before with a Nvidia card which reset to 144hz after an update and I could never enable it again. However it's a mystery as to why it boots up at 160hz in systemd-boot console, and goes back to 144hz when entering KDE or turning the display off

I finally switched to AMD after 3 years in Linux, and man I didn't even know I was suffering until I booted with AMD and didn't have to take care of several env variables and separate modules for hw acc

It just works

Does anyone have the ref to the original art?

ctrl isn't stuck because entering and subsequently exiting plasma edit mode makes the default left click behavior work again, at least for some time

Just wish obsidian had better encryption support

How does it differ from arch install + choosing the DE?

My most paranoid config is disabling Ipv4

That's it. If someone wants to attack me, they will need to adopt IPv6!
