A wise choice, honestly. I killed a good weekend tweaking it.

You could try Firefox LTS / ESR for a while until that gets upgraded.
Any of you planning to try Windows 11? Me? due to their given track record of their latest OSs back then when they used to be new at the time for being buggy and fucked up messes at launch, I cannot see myself giving it a try. I might as well stick to Win 10 until it support ends I guess. Also there are some called “new features” of Win 11 were already freaking implemented back in 7 lol. Correct me if I am wrong but I still think they should have used 7 as their main basis for an optimized OS like come on!
When Win10 goes EOL, I am done with Micro$hit.
As is, I boot into Win10 more often than I’d like to.
Colleague of mine has the preview Win11 and it is horrible. All of the design lessons learned in Vista and Win7 are out the window, cluttered & clunky of Win8 is back! It is a shitshow that does not know whether it wants to be for tablet or desktop, so it decided to be garbage on both.

Palemoon if you want to stay clear of the Chromium bubble. It’s basically exists to undo these sorts of changes in Firefox.

I saw that, but that would just be putting things off.
I saw Palemoon get mentioned once while I was looking at alternatives, but didn’t much about it. I’ll check into that one.
Let’s go Linux, I know it’s going to be a new experience for me therefore not knowing shit about it literally but it’s something new to try if Microshit still does the same shit like they always do. I just wish there are more support for games in Linux, I know there is but the optimization is what I am worry about. Can’t say I am surprised that it’s shit because I am not one bit surprised.
Valve with their steam boxes, Proton and most recently the Steam Deck are helping the Wine and DXVK along a lot. “Year of Linux is now”-meme may actually come true in the next ten years.
Hardest part will be relearning commands (in case you are a Poweshell/CMD user under Windows), and picking a distro you like

as long as it’s not ArchLinux, then I guess I can learn how to operate it with command, since sometimes i use CMD commands to do things to my PC, particularly involves with troubleshooting or just backing up registry.

When I switched to OpenSUSE I downloaded a wallpaper that had all the most common commands laid out. I can’t find the specific one I used, but there are a bunch of them.

I’m going to milk Win10 until hopefully valve gets anticheat sorted out and then its linux fulltime.
I’ve been really liking EndeavourOS lately as it’s basically Arch with a few rough edges filed off, primarily the setup process.

Awww… I actually like ArchLinux, well a fork of it Manjaro.
I know it can be good, but it’s just that let’s say I get too intimidated when things are really complexed to make it work, correct me if I am wrong though, for I can admit that I don’t know everything.
Linux (almost any distro) can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be. Manjaro for example doesn’t ever really require me to use the terminal (command line) unless I want to do something out of the norm, and if you do want to do something like that odds are there is someone else who has already done it and written a guide on how to do it.
Did that for a while, now back on Fedora
Fedora is nice. I distro hop often.

I ran Ubuntu on an old HP desktop that my parents bought back in the late 90’s after something happened that corrupted the XP install it came with. Wasn’t a bad experience, but I knew significantly less back in the late 2000’s-early 2010’s than I do now and haven’t tried any Linux distro since we shut down that PC for good. Would probably be a good idea to get my 4770k system booted back up and try a few of the newer distro’s out, since it’s just sitting there not doing anything.

I’ve been using the various releases of Debian stable for years, it never causes any issues (bar anything I don’t cause myself 
).
I ended up going with this 16 GB kit 4400MHz ram to along with my 5800X. Based on the benchmarks I’ve seen, I believe a well tuned single rank kit will max out your gaming performance, negating the benefit of running dual rank. So I decided to stick with 16 GB since I have zero need for more RAM on this system.
Here’s my performance results for those curious. I wasn’t able to get CL14 at 3800Mhz working at all. It might be because of bad secondary/tertiary times. But I don’t want to spend any more time on this lol. My primary goal was getting better 1% lows. While I did get that, I was hoping for something more substantial which would have been more inline with the benchmarks given in the article below. They were able to get a much higher min fps of 155 on Tomb raider with a similar RAM setup. Some of that difference is due to me being on X470. But a 28 fps difference is larger than expected. Does anyone know how much of a difference secondary timings can make?

1080P benchmarks only because I don’t have a 4k display available in the office.
A lot to none at all… seriously it depends on the workload that is running through the RAM, but it never is bad to have better timings. But there are definitely workloads where better timings beats faster speeds by a pretty large margin.
