I you stop trying to play armchair systems integrator and instead buy computers with Linux preinstalled fully supported by the vendor, you'll have a much better time of it. Modern hardware is complex enough that it supports Windows or

It's not just bothersome; red is in the sweet spot of visible but doesn't interfere with your night vision. There's a reason lots of camping lights have a red mode, and why astronomers use it exclusively while observing. htt
