Reminds me of the timebombs in windows 2000. I guess he's forced to start fresh.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.
Edit: seems I may be mistaken.
If I'm understanding this correctly this opens up the door to a serious type of rootkit.
It's not a matter of attackers having access to the data. It's that they have replaced your hardware with malicious hardware.
Additionally It can be trivial to gain administrative capacity on a personal computer. But in a regular case you can just reinstall the operating system. This would survive that.
It's important not to use a mechanical drive for modern gaming (if you are). Modern games can expect to be able to load assets more or less immediately upon request, otherwise your experience and performance suffers.
Your cpu is below the minimum requirements for windows 11 which may cause you challenges in the near future. But if you're comfortable with Linux that's largely mitigated.
Disabling CSM (in your bios) and confirming your operating systems are configured for uefi is important.
Enable "above 4G decoding" in your bios.
Confirm your bios is up to date and that your ram profile is configured correctly. (Lookup xmp/docp)
I believe your platform is too old for the Intel arc b580 but I suggest researching that option as it fits your budget. Otherwise a 10GB or higher GPU if you can find one. (Probably need to search the used market for something like a Radeon 6800 or better)
+1 for Avatar. Such a phenomenal cast of characters and world building. Korra got really weird but I still appreciate it.
beehaw.org has a bunch.
I enjoyed hidive's dub selection more than the others.
I'd imagine it's because it's a hobby project for the admin. It can be a pita to keep on top of stuff like this.
Don't bother with doing it manually. It's a waste of time and money. Just look into generic cartridges.
Was it by chance something by Rooster Teeth?
