Hello sorry. It looks like my PC has finally bit the dust, or if it’s a fixable problem it’s just over a decade old and the non-problem parts are likely on their last legs anyway. Do you still recommend ABS from Newegg as a good source of general use prebuilt computers or have they trashed their reputation in the roughly two years since I asked you about computer parts. I specifically want to run linux but probably an easier distro than arch, which I had been using for historical reasons.
What I know about ABS is mostly second-hand, but I haven't heard anything egregious beyond complaints about NewEgg support being slow and frustrating, but they seem to build decent systems with only moderate mark-up.
Nvidia GPU's run better on Linux these days than they used to, especially if you're going to grab a distribution that bundles the nonfree drivers, but it's a thing to watch out for if, say, you want to drive more than three monitors or want to use something less nonfree friendly. It looks like all the ABS systems with AMD are sold out. Not a deal breaker, they're usually trivially resolvable! But I saw bug reports for "Nvidia Driver Mysteriously Crashes This Week" coming in every few months at my Linux Support Job.
I haven't watched the most recent Linus Tech Tips System Integrator Secret Shopper program, I don't think they did ABS, but it might be worth watching if you're in the market.
