    Does anyone use MSI B550M microATX with Ryzen 5 5600G

    Thanks for the replies. Looking for a case. I prefer glass and am considering mesh but I think mesh is just another thing that needs cleaning and it does not completely filter out the dust. I see some are sold that state "no side panel". Why would a person buy a case with no side panel? I'm...

    Thanks for the links Gator. I will study them. But I want to say, I installed an old windoze 10 distro and not one thing changed. I still am not getting mail and I still can not send mail.

    USB-C micro-sc reader not working on Ubuntu 20.04

    Are you talking about the insert in the reader or the pc port? I just noticed on the website it says "Windows, Mac and Android compatible". Can I thus assume that its probably not linux compatible?
