Just an update.
I got my PC some time ago and it is perfect. I ended up installing Ubuntu 20.04 on it and it was a top contender for easiest OS install ever. The hole process was just a few minutes and everything worked!
I chose the NH-14 for its cooling properties off cause, but also because of it being low noise. What could I use instead with a smaller footprint if needed?
So I ended up ordering Samsung instead of Intel, and I went with 2 x 1TB instead of 2TB as I was planning to use half for system and half for /home anyway. Thanks for your advice, now I will just have to wait....
That sounds good. I would probably not buy a PCS laptop for Linux, they seem very Windows-centric.
I think the Samsung's are very expensive, do you think it will make a great difference for the overall performance?
I am planning to by something like this and install Ubuntu or Mint on it. My monitor is a 4K 43'' Philips with DPx2 and HDMIx2 as input
My use is Development, Photo editing, Video editing, and light gaming. The 8TB disk is for holding 20 years of photos and other stuff so big but slow is on...
