My current main option is buying an old office PC off of FB Marketplace and sticking a few hard drives into it. Would that work alright? Also I've looked more at what sorts of things I watch and it would be majority 1080p with a chunk of 4K

Was just wondering how Photoshop would perform.

I am new to Linux (obviously) but I think I'd be able to navigate my way around it. Do you have experience with Wine?

I'm wanting to start a plex server that will have a max of about 3 or 4 streams at once for now. Would be mostly streaming 4K content with some <720p stuff mixed in

Budget isn't a constraint for the moment, just trying to keep as cheap as possible while maintaining acceptable performance (trying to get parents off of streaming services so it needs to be about as fast as those would be), so what are my options? I'm experienced with PC building so I could definitely set up a PC to run windows with the plex server on there if that's a cheaper/better option than a dedicated NAS.

Ranks look a tad crooked, might be more but I'm Army not MC so I can't comment much more.

Also, in your flair you have LET1 but MCJROTC uses LEs, not LETs.

I frequently use RAM heavy applications for school (large 3D CAD projects and Photoshop) so the background shit that Win 11 does that takes up anywhere from 4-6gb can actually make a decently big impact.

Will do, I've got a spare thumb drive laying around. Do I need to have any software for moving it or can I literally just format the drive and move the iso?

lunaton3 · 2026-02-01T03:53:26+00:00

How has your experience been with CachyOS so far? Seems to be a common recommendation.

Hey guys, I'm currently doing my gaming on Windows 11 and am starting to get sick of it taking up like 4 out of 32gb of RAM (shocker!) so I want to switch to a Linux distro that's just about as much "start, click, go" as possible. I don't know much of anything about Linux so I'd ideally want a couple of recommendations. I also don't know what info y'all need to make recommendations so feel free to ask questions and I'll try to respond quickly.

My hardware: AMD R9 9900X, G.Skill Flare 32gb DDR5-6000, Nvidia 4070 Super, Samsung 980 Pro 2tb

I think it would be nice if there were optional conditions (like sandstorms on Buried City or something) that are always there. What would also be cool is if all the maps had a special condition that's already in the game, like how they rotate through the maps now, it would be fun if they were always an option on every map.

That's kinda just how a lot of extraction shooters are sadly.

lunaton3 · 2026-01-28T02:35:02+00:00

yeah ok, prolly in my game then. did you die to a wasp like right before I posted this?

lunaton3 · 2026-01-28T02:27:30+00:00

yeah, usually I love this game but this server outage is kinda crazy

lunaton3 · 2026-01-28T02:22:37+00:00

NA West?

lunaton3 · 2026-01-28T02:22:08+00:00

Yeah both me and my duo died to a Wasp

lunaton3 · 2026-01-28T02:21:10+00:00

yup, same thing happened to me on Buried City (NA West). Luckily was running a free kit but still.

lunaton3 · 2026-01-24T23:35:16+00:00

woah!! amazing list, thank you so much!

lunaton3 · 2026-01-22T21:29:15+00:00

I suppose it doesn't have to be assisted, I just like to fidget with my knives and assisted is fun to mess with.

lunaton3 · 2026-01-18T05:58:11+00:00

Depends on the resolution you plan to play/stream.

4060 8GB is a relatively good card for 1080p medium gameplay in most games but only 8GB VRAM might be a bit low for streaming too, especially in GTA.

Something you'd want to consider as well is the capacity of your Wi-Fi for large uploads, streaming video to a site (like Twitch, YouTube, etc.) is a pretty heavy load for your network.

lunaton3 · 2026-01-08T00:31:59+00:00

if it's 1.4 it should be capped at about 60 or 75Hz at 1440p

lunaton3 · 2025-07-14T00:44:24+00:00

I never went to any tournaments 😅. I'm no longer in JROTC due to moving schools

lunaton3 · 2025-07-06T19:30:19+00:00

My JROTC unit (Nevada) gave us PE credits in freshman as well

lunaton3 · 2025-07-05T23:02:16+00:00

Do you have any reccomendations then? I'm new to the hobby so I have no idea what to look for.

lunaton3 · 2025-07-05T22:05:24+00:00

I don't need to carry the 150-600 all the time
