All Linux Things

The i5-6500T 35w cpu is amazing as it just doesnt get very hot, even when I tried to game with it. The previous version with the 65w i5-6500 had vents in the top of the system to keep it cool but the 35w version has vents only on the front and back. Very quiet system compared to the 65w version.

Second system came in along with the NVMe drive. I cloned my other drive and installed with no issues. Bios update went fine, even though Im still trying to get use to the really odd bios. Ram should be in soon. The second WD SN550 NVMe drive came in at 2500mbs read/ 1900mbs write.

Looks like you are really enjoy the Elitedesk machine. A nice piece of hardware is a joy to use.

Its very small size yet you can reach all hardware for easy upgrade,plus the external power supply make it a gem to work with. Ability to use M.2 NVMe and 2.5 Sata ssds really widens its abilities, plus 32gb of ram if you like.

Ended up trading two of my old laptops for another G3 with the same configuration as my other ones. It already has a 256gb ssd with 8gb of ram. It has Win11 installed so not sure if Ill keep that since this device isnt supported and there may be issues.

Picked up some ram and a 512gb NVMe drive for this system. Still not sure if Ill keep Win11 as an option since its already installed.

I vote "BURN THE UGLY OS!!!"

Yep, its going down in flames. Going to run Zorin OS on it as my other two systems have Win10, one for me and eventually one for my wife. Her 7010 is getting a bit long in the tooth but have to wean her away slowly. People dont care how old a pc is as long as it works for them. She doesnt realize how slow her system really is but give it some time.
