Computer Builds & Upgrades – Part 1
I’ve been building my own desktop computers since 2004, and have gotten better at it over the years. Currently have a main PC – ‘Apevia‘ and two main Test/Secondary PCs – ‘Rose‘ & Frankenstein (AKA – ‘Frank‘). Their parts are listed at – Buy Low or BYOC – ‘Build Your Own Computer’.
Two more PCs are sitting in a shed – listed as not needed or retired, and a homemade Test Bench. 🙂 Parts can build up over time, e.g., a few years ago I finally threw away a gallon ziplock baggie full of old desktop memory. Now I try to better manage memory in new builds and/or upgrades, but eventually even that memory will become too old to use in a modern PC.
For about 7 years now, I have been using a case I like to build a new computer in – this time it’s a Apevia X-Qpack3-NW-BK, taking the MoBo from that case (left pretty much intact), and moving it to another case as an upgrade. Switching memory and other components around, upgrading an older case #2, and then building a ‘New‘ computer in case #1 from there.
DeSantis is a Leader – Trump is a ‘Bossman’ (AKA Businessman)
Whilst most all ‘Talking Heads‘ were ridiculing the DeSantis Twitter Presidential Launch – a huge amount of voters just ignored the glitches and gave “$8.2million in the first 24 hours” after the launch.
Trump (a *BIG* supporter of Child Grooming Disney) was one of the first to start running his foul mouth. How did Trump do in the first 24 hours after his launch? I’m not sure, but he “raised $9.5million in the six weeks after announcing his 2024 campaign in November.” DeSantis has almost six weeks left to beat that figure.
Joe Biden raised $6.3million “within 24 hours of announcing his candidacy in 2019.”
PorteuX 0.3 – ‘The Next Experience’ — Part 2
PorteuX 0.3 – ‘The Next Experience’ — Part 1 covered ‘Setting up PorteuX 0.3‘ & ‘Post Setup‘ – and you’ll need to refer to it for some of the info on using GParted to prep the Target device ‘n etc. Part 1 also covered how to set up the different PorteuX 0.3 (github) desktop environments—KDE, GNOME, LXDE, LXQT, MATE, and XFCE in either stable or current options.
Part 2 will be on how to set up the porteux-v0.3-xfce-4.12-stable-x86_64.iso wid a Cinnamon DE. The Developer says: ‘Xfce 4.12 is the recommended version for the best balance between performance and flexibility. Many patches have been applied to this Xfce version to improve the user experience.‘ You can use another version, but the xfce 4.12 stable version had the Screenshot app in it ‘n not all versions had that app. PorteuX 0.3 is very new ‘n has some minor bugs and/or slight differences in app options of various DEs.
PorteuX 0.3 – ‘The Next Experience’ — Part 1
I love testing new Linux Distros that show lots of potential ‘Right Out Of The Gate‘ – and PorteuX 0.3 certainly does that!!! 👏👌👍
Am all over the place wid this one – testing this DE ‘n that DE, testing the Stable ‘n the Current, etc. whilst also trying to put a review together!? 🤯 Put together a bunch of pics, and then discover something new that makes those pics sorta old. 🤔
It is going to require at least one more ‘Part‘ – since it is still new, am trying to keep it to just two ‘Parts‘ for now. 😉
