I did not mean proper balkanization with interstate wars. Just breaking up the US as OP suggested.

Regardless, the idea that the US's imperialism has brought peace to the world is deeply unserious. As well is your notion that China would be the new global aggressor. At worst it would be the regional hegemon that it has historically been. Israel and the UAE have been far more aggressive than that and with the US's backing.

lol no. It might be better off for the world if the US was balkanized but absolutely not for the US. Size and diversity are not the sources of the US's problems. In fact, the EU would be better off more unified if it could manage it.

Made from white cheddar instead of yellow cheddar. Only difference is no annetto.

I think the overtightened heatsink theory is correct. I got it for an LGA1155 motherboard and it needed an adaptor for AM4 which has no safety springs so you can just keep tightening it with no indication of what's too tight.

There's also some sort of dirt on the center left edge that I cleaned out after taking this. I just used isopropyl and a softened (used) toothbrush. After doing that I got a channel of memory back. There's three sticks in the pic because I was trying to determine which channel was bad.

Update: Wow cleaning that bit of gunk really made a difference. I'm back to using the original Ryzen 5700. Really weird that it wasn't an issue in the old build.

Its like that but way too sensitive. I've deliberately been gentle and it will still fail especially if I set it upright with fans on the heatsink.

To build on this, it would help to install some sort of system monitoring to check temps, fanspeed, system usage and have those constantly going so OP can check for any red flags during a freeze.

Idk about that. In my case I believe my CPU was defective from the start and I lived with it because I always assumed it was my OS in some way.

If your CPU has seven years of not randomly freezing and its just doing that now then I wouldn't suspect the CPU.

However, unless you find some clues from journalctl -xeb1 or dmesg I would assume its faulty hardware somewhere.

Last time for me it was a bad CPU. Lived with it until I upgraded my CPU and recycled the old one into a new build. Then that one was having the same issue.

I don't recommend it for first time users. Going through the install process is basically the tutorial level for Arch. The arch install scripts are for shortcutting an install process you're already familiar with. If you want arch with a no pain installer use something like EndeavourOS.

For example, I've used Arch for years, and tried experiment with BTRFS using the archinstall script. I deeply regretted it because it didn't configure SWAP correctly so my laptop couldn't hibernate. I had to rip out zram and put in a swapfile.

You must have an idea of what its going to do before using it. In the case of you're bloated KDE install, it installed the full kde package group, which almost no one wants. You could use the archinstall script to install everything but the graphical environment and then do that yourself, post install.
