content: Ya, I drifted towards a low power regular PC mainly because I started to see that there was a software learning curve with anything ARM. I'm not a tech guy, but I can usually pound my way through such things. The least frustrating route tends to be my preferred though, so I got the 3000g and I should be able to run an Ubuntu image I already have built with everything I need on it. Now just trying to find which mobo has proven to be the least hassle out of the box, and the best bet seems to be a board with the 550 chips. the earlier ones all require bios update for Gen 3 Ryzens, and the board you get may or may not have the updated bios- perhaps leaving you in a spot where you need an older AM4 around in order to do a bios update.
