Do people still trust ASUS enough to give them over a grand for a mainboard? I know I don't.

It's kinda embarrassing really. At this point he's just throwing stuff at his followers, hoping that something sticks
You can't tell me that's not part of the business model...
as well as a fee of €95 ($105) for 24 months of access
Ah, there it is. The death subscription.
That can be changed in the settings
Oof, that sounds really bad... I haven't had any issues with it so far in the ~3 years I've been using it (I had it on my old T430s for the longest time); don't even know how I first found out about it, I think it got a lot of coverage when it first came out.
I'm not trying to discredit your comment, far from it, neither am I really recommending Manjaro; I know that there are better alternatives but I'm a lazy bum, so I just installed the first distro that came to mind (kinda embarrassing considering how meticulously I planed every other aspect of my switch-over to Linux). Thanks for your comment, though.
Do you have any tips for me as far as staying on Manjaro is concerned?
I switched to using Manjaro full time recently
One of the n-words, it's most likely the one you're thinking of.
I'd love to try this but the link to the guide on how to set it up in Virtualbox is borked :/
It says that the Virtualbox image is currently not working anyway.
Looks more helpful than no manual at all to me. Making the actual replacement parts available for anyone is another thing, though...
I wonder how much Arch-derivative distros like Manjaro or EndeavourOS will benefit from this, aside from Proton improvements.
