Turning my Framework laptop into a tiny desktop was fun. Now it needs a job. (arstechnica.com)

Like the author, I'm not sure what I'd do with a (underpowered) desktop. I can understand other people using it for a home server, a NAS, or something selfhosted, but that isn't for me.

A better use (for me) might be donating it somewhere .

I would love to replace the service "Shells" wich Manjaro advertised very often. For school usage I found it very useful but the 1vCPU was pretty unusable and costet way too much. Higher vCPU plans cost even more so no thanks to Shells. But one you host yourself, fuck yeah.

I wish there was a USBc to PCIE

iirc, you could usw the second nvme slot with an extention for that that. But I'm not sure about the lanes it has. (I don't own a framework yet, desperately waiting for my Q4 delivery though)
