I agree with this sentiment. Dual boot on a single drive (or raid0 in this case) can be done but Windows has a tendency to rewrite the boot partition which makes you unable to boot into Linux. I'm sure there are workarounds, but having them seperate is just much easier.

If you install Linux in it's entirety to a seperate SSD, you select to boot by default into that SSD which should give you the option to boot Windows instead. The other way round is more difficult and tends to break by reasons mentioned above.

Which DE? I am using Plasma and notice some weird things like flickering screen when I am playing YouTube videos in Fullscreen with VRR.

A PSU will be most efficient if the load is close to what it's designed for. A PicoPSU doesn't have as many components as say a full ATX PSU and they are all sized for tiny loads.

I have used Pico PSUs on several occasions, more so due to their size than their effeciency. So I don't think I'd swap a normal PSU out for one. With the difference of just 10 watts you'd probably have to run it 24/7 for years to break even in the cost of purchase.

1030's can be both low profile and passively cooled. They are cheap but their performance is quite low. I think it's slower then modern integrated graphics. 1650's are also available without external power.

On AMD's side you can go for either a Radeon 460 or a Radeon Pro WX 5100. I think those 4 are your best options.

Edit: I think as someone else commented the RX 6400 might be the best option nowadays.

I was thinking this could have an impact on strategy in the race because of how teams run qualifying. Sometimes teams don't have new tyres of a specific compound (usually softs) for the race and I thought this would make that less likely to happen, but apparently the total number of available sets for the weekend will go down from 13 to 11 as well.

If only there were better options...

But what about their poor shareholders that want to see maximum profits :(

But more reliable products means existing customers will buy again less frequently.

But still, if I understand correctly, with NAT you can just use one firewall for your router and with IPv6 you'd need a firewall for each of your devices. This seems like a lot more to manage, right? But maybe I still don't understand the concept of IPv6.

Edit: Apparently I don't understand the concept of IPv6.
