A few decades ago I bought a used IBM as a *nix server, but it would lock up at nearly random intervals like you describe. Tried a different Linux distro... same issues. Tried BSD - same issues!
It wasn't until after I learned of the 1999-2007 capacitor plague that I inspected the motherboard and saw that yes, several of the capacitories were bulging.

I mailed the motherboard to a servicer who replaced all the capacitors for a nominal fee. After that it was a rock solid system. You mention that this is recent hardware, but I would still suggest taking a peek at those caps.
Interesting information, but my response is 'meh'.
How is this really any different than what Fox News does daily?
Partisan private companies gonna partisan.

I went camping once with my dad and a few of his buddies when it was frigid cold outside. We piled 5 adult bodies into a camper, and they also left a Coleman gas lantern lit inside the camper all night for warmth.
I couldn't sleep for two reasons:
-
One of my dad's buddies had horrible snoring, and
-
I could feel myself choking on the stale air. I ventured outside every so often and would hold the camper door open for a few minutes (or until I would get yelled at). I don't remember 100% but I think I had a persistent headache that night.
I'm still convinced we could have all died.
Iirc the original steamOS was Debian based and you really had to be an experienced Linux user to use and enjoy it.
With the new steamOS (arch based?) it's a much more streamlined experience and opens up the user base because of it
On my machine, the L2 cache is 256KiB
Is this a typo or are they running on a Pentium 3?
But my boomer aunt told me it means 'Lots Of Love'!
Reminds me of an IRC snippet from the now defunct bash.org site -

I'm waiting in the exact same position. I'm thinking I want at least a 60% drop on the base steam price.. staying hopeful
Ye man I go here too. Prices are fair and Dr. B is fantastic
