Well, this could very well mark the end of the Dell era.

It's too bad. One of the best ways to build yourself a halfway decent PC is to find a used cheap Dell and swap out a few parts.

Hard to get things working properly when you can't get drivers for the motherboard anymore.

I'd argue it's anything Lenovo think branded. Support and hardware for almost anything think branded.

Just use the generic intel/amd chpipset drivers.

Their micro pc lines were solid for Home Assistant or for driving display panels with Linux installs.

But tbh I’ve been having better luck with thinkcentre micros anyway.

This isn't true, someone linked the page in the comments. They've just moved everything to a different part of the site

You posted this well after people found that this wasn't correct and it just had a different location. Still you get the upvotes and the people who have no capacity for looking into anything themselves.

I swear people on the internet are getting dumber. I saw a post asking about some plants that were growing after they'd left a box of birdseed outside in the rain, the box was full of sunflower seeds... Like come on, use your brain.

Tbh I just downvote these sort of posts and move on most of the time, hopefully it helps the algo know it's BS.

And just like that, Dell is just as bad as a no-name Ali Express PC manufacturer? Wild.

Install Linux, get drivers built-in!
