No, GPU prices are still high and memory is overtaking them, I'd rather have no pc than buy at these prices.

I'll just keep using used notebooks for cheap and not play GPU (or CPU) intensive games until (if ever) the situation improves.

Wish I could be as optimistic as you about the 60 series. I hope the AI bubble bursts quickly so that prices can normalise because I won't buy a PC with these prices.

Why don't you just use USB-C to USB-C?

Now this is quality

Just blame Linus directly smh

It's reminders all the way down

Didn't know we were this close to the singularity.

With my last dying braincell I bite thee

She has already breached containment.

Is it? Seems to be less and less the more I look at it.

prebuilt plug-and-play

Considering that building a pc isn't more than plugging in all the parts, I'd say "building your own PC" very much is plug-and-play.

Not saying everyone can do it but "prebuilt plug-and-play" isn't the wording I'd use.

Language pre-approved by corporate daddy

asterisk-holes

Android apps can't see ssids without asking for permissions (GPS or sensors I think?)

Excuse me what the fuck

our right

It helps but it's too expensive to distribute to everyone.

Yeah I tried just now and it diesn't seem to be working (anymore?) could've sworn that worked.

You can still kexec the installiers directly, I followed the netboot.xyz scripts and got the links they use. Here's Debian as an example:

From the scripts: https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ looking at the boot config debian-installer/amd64/grub/grub.cfg

    
submenu '... KDE Plasma desktop boot menu ...' {
    set gfxpayload=keep
    menuentry '... Install' {
        set background_color=black
        linux    /debian-installer/amd64/linux desktop=kde vga=788 --- quiet
        initrd   /debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz

  

so we need to download those two files and take the netboot.xyz cmdline arguments then

    
$ kexec --command-line="desktop=kde vga=788 mirror/suite=stable initrd=initrd.magic console=ttyS0,115200n8"  --initrd=initrd.gz -l linux´
$ systemctl kexec


  

and it boots.

also here's an example for the nixos netboot commands, more on that in the nixos manual:

 bash

    
$ kexec --load bzImage \
  --initrd=initrd.gz \
  --command-line "init=/nix/store/n37nmcvbrblk9ahfzj9nxy01axs7zsf6-nixos-system-nixos-kexec-25.11pre-git/init nohibernate loglevel=4 lsm=landlock,yama,bpf"
$ systemctl kexec
   
  

Edit:

No console access

If that means that you can only connect to SSH and have no VGA/video then this will be limited, you could setup an automated install but that requires a lot more knowledge than what your guide requires.

Kexec can be used to load a new kernel and "reboot" quickly, it can also be used to load a new kernel, an initrd and never touch the disk. Such a system lives completely in ram and allows you to modify the disk in any way you want without breaking you running Linux (which is in ram)

Any distro that has a network boot installer that can be passed to kexec can be installed this way, any that don't can still kexec any Linux distro and then install any other distro by passing the disk to a VM and installing linux through that.

You can also kexec the netboot.xyz image and get any distro supported there.

Can't you just kexec and be on your way?
