I used drdruh's yubikey guide to setup my offline gpg keys ( master key + side keys ) on linux. It is very thorough and well thought out. https://github.com/drduh/YubiKey-Guide

Nice to see so many distro options that people are using.

PopOS - for gaming I'm currently using. Tried Linux Mint - my first distro since switching from Windows. On my radar to test; Arco Linux Manjaro OpenSUSE Tumbleweed Solus - Independant distro

I'm using LibreOffice - probably one of the best open source office suites - for Linux. LinuxMint is from Ubuntu, so if your stuck about things, search for Ubuntu etc. I started the switch from Windows to Linux Mint - a nice start from switching to Linux. I use rclone to backup/sync my files...

PopOS is more suited to gaming also, they have a nvidia iso option - not many linux distro's offer this open amongst their downloads. Garuda good also. Many other options, but they involve more tinkering to fully set up.

The better starter Linux distros are: Linux Mint > PopOS. Since my switch to Linux ( deleted my microsoft account ), my daily driver has been PopOS - since I'm using AMD CPU and NVidia GPU. It's very handy for nvidia drivers.

Yeah, I've made the switch too, ditched Windows10 and deleted my Microsoft account. Started with Linux Mint, now onto PopOS, loving this new upgrade to 21.04.

Would these drives work on Linux? I mean no firmware needed. I've deleted my Windows account, and changed from Windows10 to Linux, currently using PopOS.

I've just ditched from Windows10 to Linux Mint. Installed Steam, added in Wine, Lutris, Proton dependencies, then installed Wine and Lutris. Chris Titus Tech - youtube channel has great linux videos and this article for which I follow. Automated most of the things in the terminal...

Ditch your Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox. The best linux options: Rclone Syncthing Nextcloud Synology FREE NAS DIY NAS Home Server Rsync Just to name a few

I wouldn't advise using an external HDD to back up your data. I'm currently using this option, and I don't like it. Follow the 3 - 2 - 1 data backup strategy. 3 copies of your data, two of which are local, and 1 off site. To fix this, my solutions are: -Switch to Synology or DIY NAS Home...

Everything has been delayed this year. Was quoted in that article for Q3 2020, been and gone now. I wasn't keen on 1st gen pci-e 4 nvme, but I am for the second gen drives.

With my old laptop, althon 2, 4gb ram, barely able to run Ubuntu. Tried it, didn't work. A little research for old laptops using Linux. Lubuntu - lightweight ubuntu came around. I used the iso, and it worked straight away. Got to the desktop, and didn't worry about having a look with the live...

That's fine. I'm now ready to switch to Linux. I'm not really bothered about Gaming, but I will try to backup some game files onto my external hdd. Linux Mint has Steam, so I'll see how that is for Gaming. I might have to add on a monitor upgrade.

I have an old laptop to test. Windows 7 I think, haven't used it for a while. Thinking about installing Ubuntu to fully test it out, before a full installation on my main computer.

This and this. Product availability, where are they?

Oooh nice. Not changing my gpu, just left for my system upgrade from last year is: monitors and nvme ssd. Still stuck on 2x 1080p monitors. At the moment, I am researching switching from windows10 to linux. Privacy and security reasons. So, therefore, I really don't need a monitor upgrade...

That's a nice offer. I'm on the fence about upgrading my monitors atm. Although I do fancy changing upto 1444p etc.

This is what I'm waiting on for the E18, before I purchase a gen 4 nvme ssd

I'm just using normal ssd's atm, 2x 1tb ssd with my computer upgrade last year. It was no m.2 ssd to reduce the overall cost. Now the gen4 m.2's are coming to market, now is the time to actually make use of my mboard ( 3 m.2 slots ).
