   Looks like I’m going to have to part with my beloved cube PC.

   It’s a gorgeous fanless/silent machine that just screams. Best computer I’ve owned but I’m back to daily driving a Mac for dev and I’d rather it went to someone who’d use it every day instead of having it gather dust here.

   Ryzen 5700G, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD. Full specs in alt text of first image.

   Thought I’d mention it here first. Ideally, will go to someone in Ireland. Thinking €1,500+shipping or pick up.

     PS. I’ve been running Fedora Silverblue on it but I’m happy to install whichever Linux distribution you like on it.

     And, in case you care about such things, this is the machine I used to code Kitten¹ and the one I was using for my videos/live streams.

     (And yes, this is my work machine and the money for it will go to Small Technology Foundation².)

     @badambassador It’s the Streacom ST-DB4 in Black (which, I just checked, they’re sold out of. They still do carry it in other colours, though.)

     @aral nice! I've thought about building a PC in that case but don't think I really have the space for it. Hope you find a good buyer, and condolences on the Mac!

     @ryanprior No condolences necessary. I’ve been more productive than I have been in ages. Amazing what you can do when you’re not constantly distracted by little things in your display environment not working as they should. Heck, I took a three month diversion at one point to contribute to Elementary OS (for which I was thanked recently by being slandered for my contribution as the Linux crowd closed ranks around deflecting criticism of lack of accessibility in GNOME). Yeah, no.

     @aral I followed that whole saga, it was dismal. Glad the Mac is working better for you.

     You should fix the note in your post that elementary is broken, because it still uses accessible X11 by default (Wayland will be an option in the upcoming release, but will not be the only option until accessibility features are mature there.)

     @aral it wasn't shipping Wayland at all when you published the piece about accessibility, though. Of those on your list, elementary held back from shipping the busted experience. That seemed to be worth noting!

     @ryanprior Indeed, but it was slated for 8. And it’s still busted.
