     @Hoss @skylar @AGARTHA_NOBLE @sapphire I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
     
     Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
     
     There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

     @sapphire @skylar I wouldn't, enclosures are more trouble than they're worth (having tried to set one up on a Linuxshitter machine)

     @skylar @AGARTHA_NOBLE I don't want to use Windows on anything, the only reason I do is because I can't install MacOS on my PC
     
     I've considered just getting an enclosure for my GPU and passing it through to a windows VM on my Mac but I already have the PC
     
     I'd also gladly install the xbox neutered OS if they let me on my PC since I only use it for microshaft specific software

     @AGARTHA_NOBLE @sapphire sorry i'm not interested in a toy laptop that can't even run windows no matter how cheap it is
     it's not about the price of the adapter, it's about having to find the adapter whenever you need to use any USB device
     i'm already mad enough that they've taken our ethernet ports and serial ports

     @skylar you know you can just order it online right?
     
     Also they make thunderbolt enclosures, you can stick a 4090 in a box and plug it into your macbook (or the 3 other laptops that have thunderbolt)

     and it would be really hard for you to do that because the apple store in my state is in a really fucking annoying place, one of those gay retard "walkable" shopping centers that just means it's a clusterfuck without enough parking
