What's on Your Mind

[InbetweenDreams]

Welp... I just tore two computers apart for no reason, other than I'm blind...

So I have two computers that have Z170 chipsets, support the same Intel CPU's. One has a Gigabyte board which has my Skylake CPU and the other a MSI board has a Pentium G4400, low end CPU that I used, once upon a time for mining...now does echolink for ham radio and a few other things.

So I had thought for some reason the Gigabyte board didn't have M.2 slots, so I figured I'd swap boards because I know the MSI board has them. Apparently I am blind because after tearing into the computer I discovered the Gigabyte board does have M.2 slots... To my defense the board is black. So the good news is that I can go ahead an order a M.2 solid state drive, which will allow me to leave my Kubuntu install on my RAID 5 and keep it away from Windows trying to stick bootloaders on the damn array wiping out GRUB. I don't know what the deal is but it is as if Windows just looks for any other bootloader to overwrite despite where you install Windows.
