All my jobs back to 2002 until now I have had full authority to run any OS I like on my work computer. I’ve run nothing but Linux on all my work machines and I have convinced many coworkers to do the same.

And use CEPH as your filesystem.

You’re quite a bit behind on BIOS version so I’d update that first and then run memtest86+ which you can install from the arch repo and it will show up in your grub menu.

BIOS update can be found at https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450M-DS3H-rev-1x/support#dl
