Agreed, this has been my experience as well. I tried switching to full time Linux multiple times. I had already used it on my laptop for years but on my desktop I kept going back to Windows because things on Windows just worked the way I wanted and thought that for some things there weren't any Linux alternatives.

That was until two years ago I challenged myself to only use Linux for a month. I've been using Linux on my desktop ever since and only use Windows now and then to play a single game that doesn't work on Linux due to anti cheat.

Luckfox Pico Mini might be you're looking for. It's a Linux SBC that costs around 10 USD, in a Teensy/Raspberry Pico or even smaller formfactor.

I suppose xrandr can help you here: See the Arch wiki about xrandr

Which kernel do you use on Debian? IIRC support for Intel Arc was added in 6.0 or higher. I am using Proxmox (based on Debian) and I had to upgrade from 5.15 to 6.2 kernel to get hardware decoding to work. Have you checked the Jellyfin manual? It's pretty elaborate on how to get Intel QSV working.

To add to this: A certain type of Soviet submarine used a lead-bismuth alloy as coolant for their reactor. The coolant solidifies at ambient temperature so it had to be heated indefinitely by some way or another or else it solidified and trashed the reactor. I don't think any of them exist anymore since Russia wasn't able to afford sustaining the giant navy after the Soviet collapse.

Just goes to show how insane nuclear submarine engineering is, or was at some point.

Not officially. Only Ryzen Pro have official (unregistered) ECC support and not many motherboards support it either. AFAIK Threadripper doesn't officially support it either but I could be wrong.

You sand your 3D prints?

I'm guessing it's the same common issue present on many Gigabyte AM4 boards. The IT8792E (and perhaps others) doesn't work with the kernel driver. There are workarounds but they make it so that other ITxxxxE chips don't work. I have a Gigabyte X570 Ultra and can only use ~half of the fan headers with lm_sensors. I haven't been able to get them all working.

Edit: or section 6.6 of the Arch wiki link you shared.

Fair point. Can't argue with that.
