Looking to move my Unraid setup off of power hungry old dual xeon hardware and get into quicksync.
Looking for:
i5/i7 10th or 11th Gen with QuickSync + Cooler (stock will be fine)
Motherboard for the above with at least 2x x4 pci-e slots (or larger)
32GB of memory
Kind of a long shot that...
I'd really like 4+ some onboard msata or something for the boot drive. But that's going to be hard to find I think. As long as it has a chance of fitting into the case I'm putting it in and is reasonably priced, I'll take any offers at this point.
I think I have what I need. Thanks everyone.
Looking to create a storage target for my home lab using TrueNAS. The more sata ports the better. Need processor, cooler, motherboard, RAM. 8gb should be plenty for what I'm doing.

I'm just giving you my literal experience, not what I expect other users to experience or some bull shit trolling post about Linux vs Windows vs MacOS. Every time I've used Linux and set out to "This is going to be my desktop", what I wrote was what I came away with when I went back.
Maybe for the average user that is just going to turn on their PC and open Chrome, sure. But then wouldn't they just buy a Chromebook? My problem for decades now with Linux is kind of the contrary to how most Distros and Open Source software works, it's so fragmented that nothing seems "done"...
