Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

    Checked the logs in Windows, you’re right! A corrected hardware error has occurred from PCI Express Root Port. I reseated the drive with no change.

    I should mention that this laptop has always had issues with what I assumed to be thermal throttling. It would play games fine for 10-15 minutes before becoming a slideshow. I eventually stopped trying.

    I have set that option and I am currently downloading a GPU benchmark. Is that an appropriate test? What should I be looking for in dmesg?

        Thanks for the help. If it’s the hardware then it’s the hardware. I will try a few more things like booting from the drive in a different PC, but I may have to spend some money.

            Finally got a chance to try out the drive in a different PC and the errors were not happening. Good news for the drive but bad news for the rest of the laptop and me narrowing it down.
