ok ok. since my case and mobo arrived, i finally rebuilt my pc. and since i have a mac now, i’ve offload most creative tasks to it. that means there was nothing stopping me from running linux full time on my desktop. my second drives are even all ext4 now you cant tell i’m committed. now it acts mostly as a file server and occasional vr machine (vrchat runs ok (not quite as fast), you just need to know about proton-ge-rtsp, wivrn, and wayvr)
