      And when I switched mobos from Intel to AMD, it just booted (Arch then). Couldn’t believe it, just went.

      To be fair, I find that people with a Computer Science degree are pretty much just like most other users except that they need more privileged access somewhere because they are usually software developers or somewhere in that orbit. A Computer Science degree does not prepare someone to be a sysadmin. That doesn’t mean they can’t be an excellent one but it certainly isn’t because of their degree path.

      Usually got problems with Windows not recognizing drives during install only on Gigabyte mobos. Turning off all forms of Fast Boot in BIOS fixed it for me, but it was an older motherboard (one for AMD FX series, IIRC).
