Oh my god if you are a new user please do not go straight to Arch or Manjaro. By far the two distros most likely to breaky irreparably.

Helium is tiny, and will diffuse though pretty much anything other than continuous welded metal pipe very very quickly. The elastomer seals on a phone would slow it down slightly, but the article's from 2018, before so many phones were watertight. I remember my old iPhone had a little piezo cooling fan in one of the grates on the bottom, so helium would have no trouble at all.
Can't speak for MEMS specifically, but it absolutely can make chips shut down whole instruments by changing their properties. It intercalates slower, but has much the same effect once it's in there.
Yup. Most of the mems devices will essentially shut down the device if they go out of tolerance. This is a pretty common-knowledge fact among folks who work with large magnets, or with helium or hydrogen gas.
Funnily enough, it also happens with equipment microcontrollers which are unlikely to have a MEMS unit in them -- for instance, any benchtop centrifuge made after the mid-90s will shut down, and I'm pretty sure those are still on quartz clocks. It also effects things like on-chip thermometers.
Sure thats true as long as the basic support on compatibility is there, but as I understand it Pine is so hardware-only that they make it hard for other projects to even support their hardware, i.e. with lacking drivers as the other comment addressed.
Deeply confused by what the hell this is
I have my steam games running from a NTFS storage partition separate from my Windows and Linux home partitions...
I had some initial issues when I started doing that, and it required a different read method for the drive (which never worked), but for about 6mo I've had no issues running steam off a vanilla NTFS drive.
I'm guessing that's a mini-ITX? Yeah I can forgive a case which is highly optimized for small form factor, but this case is if anything the opposite.
In my experience NTFS is the most stable, unfortunately. What issues are you having with the NTFS disk on linux?
For a $240 case, no review is going to make me want to buy it, but god is it funny to watch Steve's frustration with it.
And there was me thinking that was a mint problem...but it's never broken nearly badly enough to force a reinstall. It's just weird not being able to do a full upgrade unless you temporarily uninstall some packages.
Yeah definitely the latter, but phrasing it as generation is very very wierd. Literally physically impossible.
