It's like "I have a windows computer, I install software on it and use the software. Why would I need more than 1?" Turns into "ooohhh, computers are great. All the things I can run and host. Software isn't just a gui".

It's like learning to love computers again

    This is me with old phones that I keep to prove LineageOS will still support, I keep them all updated, I flash Mobian or postmarketOS, but I keep none as a daily driver

    I've not heard of that. Does Fedora have its own coreboot distro, or is it something else?

    Ohhh I thought you were talking about flashing software for inputting the iso into the usb like Rufus.

    I haven’t swapped out the BIOS/UEFI firmware before.

    Compatibility with Libreboot/Canoeboot seems to be one of the main advantages of certain Thinkpad models, so it might be something to check out. :)

    (For creating a bootable USB drive from a .iso file, can you not simply use the dd command?)

    The masculine urge to buy a bunch of computers, deck my room out like some cyberpunk rat nest and do secret software stuff. (Seriously what would you even have multiple computers do.)

    Run Multiple Services silly. How do you think Spotify, Netflix, and all these other goofy things operate? I think it is the obsession to locally host your own services and compartmentalize things so things don't all come crashing down at once. It totally makes sense to me. And I don't even think it's masculine. I think chicks would even dig it too. I think they do actually dig it. I think you're just told as a female that that's just not for you. And some resist. No subscription for me, thank you very much. All these major tech-bro companies have blood on their hands. And what they do is nothing special.
