7ekn00 on PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB Graphics Card $579 Delivered / C&C / in-Store @ Centre Com

Yep. It needs a newer kernel than what SteamOS has so it’d be best to use Bazzite for a SteamOS-like experience.

UltimateAI on KeepLink 8-Port PoE Gigabit Network Switch w/ 2x Uplink Ports - AU Plug US$22.11 (~A$34) Shipped @ KeepLink Store AliExpress

I think the intention here is to use both of those uplink ports and use link aggregation. That would be probably enough for some.

Netgear, TP-Link, D-Link and a few others refer to their switches with managed features as 'smart switches'. They don't tend to have the…

FYI you can get third-party ear pads with cooling gel inserts that might help. They may affect sound profile but could be worth a try.

Thanks, I'm definitely looking at minimum 16GB (ideally higher) for a future GPU for flexibility sake. Thanks for the other tips too!

250/100 is my preference, but only because I transfer a lot of files offsite and have a homelab.

DVD still outsells Blu-ray on average I think. That’s the only reason they’re still sold.
