I somehow missed you mentioning Fractal. My point still stands though. I've got the original Define XL. it's more than a decade old and has housed either one or 3 computers of Theseus, depending. So a pretty good ROI based on its lifespan.

It's not exactly what you're looking for but Fractal makes some solid, plain black cases. Most of their models can come with or without windows. The Define line is my favorite - they're very quiet, spacious, and pretty well designed.

Do you have vsync off? Probably not the culprit since it's a crash, but I frequently get odd performance issues on the OLED model with Vsync on.

I think it's their upcoming Cosmic DE that's Wayland.

I've got very similar specs to this and the Pop Shop still runs like garbage. Have you tried installing the Cosmic store? It's what they built for the upcoming Cosmic DE but you can grab it from the Pop Shop as a replacement. It is infinitely more responsive.

Unless OP is running some other DE, it's likely not a Wayland issue. Pop!OS runs Gnome on X11 by default.

I run Pop and haven't run into this, but it sounds like it's freezing when under heavy network load. Are you wired or wireless? Can you pull up the system monitor before updating a package and see if anything is maxing out? Network, CPU, RAM, drives?

He's always been independent but caucuses with the Democrats.

I would pay money to watch her debate a Conan O'Brien Clutch Cargo version of Trump.

I HATE playing mobile games but my wife got me hooked on Dawncaster. It's a roguelike deck builder. I think it's like $4-5 and no micro transactions but there are expansion packs to add new zones and enemies. I've since picked them all up. It's regularly updated with free content packs and balance changes. The devs are very responsive with the community.

Pop! OS with an RTX 3080 has been rock solid for me.

Pop OS has been rock solid for me on an Nvidia GPU

I hope this is cool to post here. It's a Backerkit project for a documentary about Sierra On-line. I grew up playing these and figured there might be some other old farts around who would be interested.

I remember Kings Quest 6 blowing my mind when it came out and I only had the floppy disk version. I never knew until I was much older that there was a CD-ROM version with full voice over.
