I have this one from a previous sale. It's good!

It would be great if this were compatible with the upcoming CM5 as well.

I'd recommend getting a good quality Bluetooth adapter known to work well in Linux. Even a decent one shouldn't be expensive. Avoid combo BT/wifi sticks.

Oh, I agree. The older GoW games are perhaps my favorite of their era.

Totally agree. I bought these on sale earlier this year, and I was like, "THIS is what everyone kept recommending?"

They can be fun, but they're PS2 God of War meets Star Wars. I think if you have no nostalgia for them, they're 6.5/10 at best.

Running multiple virtual machines might be one use for all that RAM. I completely agree about going with a NUC (or similar x86-64) unless power consumption is a concern. I stopped buying SBCs once Intel platforms started competing on the low end.

I always recommend Pop_OS! for beginners. It's IMHO a lot closer to what Ubuntu used to be, uses apt and/or flatpaks (and no snaps), has sane defaults, a good installer, a decent company behind it, nvidia drivers included and their upcoming Cosmic desktop environment looks sick.

Also, I feel like this is a better Fedora-based distro for beginners since it's harder to break:
