hi</h1>
<p>another blog post, this time its a slander</p>

how?</h1>
<p>well, specs-wise my main PC solo’s the entire pc collection and my secondary remains at second place</p>
<p>BUUUTTTT system-wise (not specs) my secondary pc is better</p>
<p>well heres an explanation</p>
<p>my main pc has problems and the list goes as:</p>
<ul>
<li>shutdown after system boot (probably hibernation)</li>
<li>disk access error (shutdown and startup stops)</li>
<li>broken battery</li>
<li>space heater with cooling</li>
<li>uses win10 (ik ik im cool as shit)</li>
<li>FPS sucks (adaptation to enviroment takes long time)</li>
</ul>
<p>but my secondary pc:</p>
<ul>
<li>no random shutdowns</li>
<li>no disk access error</li>
<li>no broken battery</li>
<li>still a space heater 😐</li>
<li>uses win11 (ik its slop)</li>
<li>actual FPS (with the drawback of slop ping)</li>
</ul>
<p>so basically bc of the problems on my main pc and my secondary pc’s benefits the secondary pc wins the competition</p>
<p>i mean my main pc is still a good one and its like my gaming rig</p>
<p>idk tho u choose</p>

tf happened</h1>
<p>so i got the thing into the PC and guess what it didnt boot and instead went to LAN boot (whic ofc faild)</p>
<p>i tried to change a LOTTA BIOS settings and guess what, i flashed the wrong image bc when it booted it couldnt find the menu file</p>
<p>so i hopped on my PC again and flashed a CORECT img</p>
<p>but..
after booting into the syslinux installer the idiocrasy started being an idiot (a image containing the win98 files couldnt be mounted)</p>
<p>i tried EVERYTHING to get it workin but nope</p>
<p>after that catasthrope i flashed debian into a USB and it worked</p>
<p>so i got that installed and here we are</p>
<p>(i spent 1 fuckin hour on ts and 6 HOURS on a fileserver attempt this is jus peak tech)</p>
