This is not a good deal. First of all I highly doubt this mobo and CPU will be Windows 11 compatible so you’re out of luck there. For $373 you can find an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and mobo combo deal that will vastly outperform this Chinese CPU. Also AMD’s AM5 platform is DDR5 while this Chinese CPU and mobo combo is DDR4. $373 is a ridiculously non competitive price.
I do, I’ve been trying to get off it and onto Bazzite but I tried to do a test run by installing it on my laptop before my pc and the boot loader won’t pick up the usb 😔
I don’t feel comfortable doing it on my pc without first seeing it work, so it seems I’m stuck on windows
I have several for work that will likely never work in Linux.
So those have a nice little VM they sit on, which has been stripped bare of the nonsense. Remote desktop access enabled, and I can do what I need whenever.
That’s pretty interesting, but it’s a meeting software. So I’m regularly sharing my screen and sharing files. So I need to be in the os. I’ll just key checking it every time a roster counts out for proton or the app I use.

That’s a feature lol

Really? I’m actually asking because I don’t think you can get the amd combo you mentioned at that price. Also, we’d need to confirm the specs and performance. So far it would be just speculation
CPU + Mobo combo plus a CPU cooler which adds up to about $381.40 which is $8 more than Chinese CPU + mobo combo. I think that’s close enough to be within the margin of price fluctuations. That AM5 mobo comes with four memory slots, USB 3.2 and Wifi 6E. Those features may be worth extra $8 for some.
Total is $398 bundle with lower end fan. It is comparable.
The choice will be driven by hardware characteristics for me. Power vs performance questions. If performance is roughly the same, then I will prefer lower power consumption.

No Intel Management Engine though.

Is that a bad thing though?
Who the fuck uses Windows 11?!
Everyone.

The majority of businesses and a lot of consumers. 46% of steam users. Few years it’ll be the majority.
46, goddamn
Me 😢
I have a critical work app that will not run in wine or with proton.
I’ve even contacted the devs and they suggested trying to run the android version on Linux, but it doesn’t work either.
What is the app? You may need to install libhoudini (libndk if you have AMD processor) if it the app is arm only. https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script

That’s crazy, most meeting software I’ve seen is cross platform and have web clients.
I know, it’s exactly how I feel about the situation.
They are going to release a new version with monetization soon. Maybe that will be a big .0 release and maybe there will be a Linux version.
I think what people here miss out is that it’s not meant to immediately become a retail choice.
First, some specific industries might be interested, then others, then, maybe, common consumers.

Without even trying… https://pcpartpicker.com/list/msJQ6D
This is not even the lowest you can go, as I wouldn’t get an A620 mobo. Also not a recommendation, just first three components I found.
BTW, afaik this is a MIPS CPU, with proprietary ISA. Who would want this other than the Chinese government exactly?
Give us some links for combo of motherboard, CPU and fan. I assume it needs a fan.

Not even close.

That’s not a MSRP. You can’t compare a deal to MSRP.
You shouldn’t compare retail prices with deals. Go compare it to AMD MSRP.
