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?
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:
$ 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?

“Eliminate poverty” vs “E-L-I-M-I-N-A-T-E poverty”
i will simply want to scan projects that i personally use to be aware of its current state and future changes, before i blindly update apps i host.
If you’re just doing this for yourself then you still need to know the programming languages involved, what kind of vulnerabilities exist, how to validate them and quite a bit of how the projects operate.
The AI will output a lot of false positives and you will need to actually know if any of the “vulnerabilities” are valid or just hallucinations. Do you really want that extra workload?
No worries, I installed it for you.
Good news everybody, the number of people talking about suicide is rapidly decreasing.

They’re right too, after using Immich I don’t want to go back.
The free extended updates are only for private consumers, companies don’t get them.
The consumer ESU program can’t be used by commercial devices.

Most companies should’ve already switched over so afaict there wasn’t enough push back.
I don’t see how employees giving a damn is relevant to what I said, can you rephrase that?
So? That doesn’t sound as bad as full power heating.
They bought a $2000 bed with a 24/7 internet requirement, how smart do you think they are?
I’m not saying that you shouldn’t, I am saying that there’s more to discuss than “switched to Linux /thread”.
For example let me just quote microsoft “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.” and think about what that means for your workplace. Windows isn’t going to vanish in a few years. The companies that have a lot of windows PCs will have to deal with increased hardware requirements in an already expensive market, have to wrangle user settings that the ai set on voice commands or fight against Microsoft to shut it all down.
I feel like there’s going to be a lot of wasted productivity in the coming years spend on fixing what ai broke.
Don’t they also push their new AI on customers? I don’t use MacOS so I’m a bit ootl on that.
That’ll be 800€ and all change you own.
