    My computer can’t upgrade to Win11 and I am buying a new one, but I’m putting Linux on it.

      My computer can upgrade to win11. I clearly remember the vendor stating that when I bought it last year.

      I’ll stick to linux, though.

        Mine too. I tried 11 and went back to 10. Honestly, only thing keeping me on Windows currently is my plex*arr servers. Guess I have a year to figure out docker.

          I cannot seem to find that setting in uefi to turn on that chip… Anyway, I keep trying to get my VR library (98 games) to register more than 3, and room setup is a major stroke of luck.

          If there are any suggestions on a distro that will power my rtx 4070ti super, ryzen 7 3800, 32 gb ram, HTC Vive, on its own 4tb sata SSD, I would like to hear them. So far Kubuntu has gotten me the closest.

        That was actually the plan but my old computer broke and won’t boot up anymore. Powering it on causes it to enter a reboot loop.

          Does it successfully POST? Can you get into the BIOS menu? If yes, the problem is probably the storage, either the boot sector is fuxx0r3d or the drive itself is dead.

            It doesn’t reach the BIOS menu. It powers off about a second or two after turning it on and then it will turn itself on to start the loop. It doesn’t stay on long enough for the monitor to even display anything.

      I have parts on the way to build a new PC. Believe it or not, also Linux.
