I use Arch, by the way.
I am also definitely over thirteen, and hope I can use arch soon btw (I need a pc case and power supply?)
You definitely need a power supply.
Definitely. There's 2 supply plugs on my motherboard. Do they both need to be plugged in? I'm really new to pc building, and my parts are retired parts from the old hospital (dad works there, new hospital was recently built) which 90% don't go together, and for every part, there's a 50% chance it's already toast
Haha FAFO, I guess. The big plug definitely needs to be plugged into the mobo.
I'm assuming mobo is motherboard, I'm getting a new power supply so I can power it, because I don't have any on either of my current 2 that match the smaller one (I assume small one is for cpu?)
It's a MSI B150M Mortar, iirc
The only reason I don't is that I'm too stupid to setup BTRFS snapshots and full disk encryption with LVM on it.
