    Just need the power LED to know it’s on, hard drive and keyboard LEDs to know it’s doing something and POST beep codes to know why it’s broken.

      Been building a new pc every 2-3 year since 2006-7.

      Just did a X670 upgrade… no post codes on motherboard. $500 motherboard. I’ve always had post codes… I had post codes on my fucking $50 trash motherboard I used for my old NAS.

    dmesg is always fun though nowadays it requires root or sudo

    other hot utilities that start with ls: lsblk lspci lsusb lsmod

    or you can just cat random /proc or /sys files

    I suppose if you want to read some logs and are running systemd you can journalctl

    honorary mentions to hdparm, smartmontools, lm-sensors
