So…I’m not a noob to computers, I run my own jellyfin server, minecraft server, I almost had a comp sci minor in college, but I’ve just been so in the windows ecosystem that I don’t really know what applies for linux and rather than act like I “know computers” I’ll be honest, linux is something I know nothing about, windows I can do basically all my troubleshooting on my own+internet access
I’m not doubting a usb is better, i uaed those to install windows in basically every PC I’ve built for me or friends. But…usually I am borrowing other ppls. Now I work seasonal jobs and don’t have a permanent home so…can’t really quickly access a store if I’m in the middle of nowhere in a national park
Oh no, I was so gonna buy one for $4000+ /s
Wouldn’t be an issue if they didn’t discontinue so many and stopped supporting a bunch. If you want a 4k UHD capable drive today it’s hundreds and almost all discontinued
Sounds like Plex/Jellyfin server but for gaming instead of movie streaming
Honestly I might justvwait until I can maybe build like a miniPC for jellyfin and put linux on that one to start learning then. Might be easier
