       Need to figure out... what OS I'm gonna primarily run on it- Windows obviously supports the most bells and whistles, including security features, but it's also shit- Does explicitly support Ubuntu, so that might be a middle ground- NixOS would be ideal to run on it- Qubes OS, maybe?? Could be interesting

       (also, PITA: if I wanted to dual-boot into Windows/NixOS/Qubes, I'd have to disable secure boot, which would break some of Windows's security features)

       @RisenValkyrie @machine USB to anything else adaptors always have a bunch of caveats, and serial is no exception. Always a PITA to find one with proper working hardware flow control and stuff
