I feel the someway about people who say “I’m moving to Linux after W10 support ends”.

I think it takes one of two things for people to move.

1. Linux has to have several features that are unavailable on Windows that makes it worth swapping.
2. Windows has to do something so egregious that they no longer consider it viable.

In my case, I swapped back 3 years ago when ads appeared in explorer for a preview version. In combination with the work the community had done for Valve to consider the steam deck worth selling with Linux, I was confident enough that I could have a good enough experience with Linux.

The cable is only rated for so much power, which could be too much for double 8 pins. Having two operated cables ensures it can handle the load.

I personally used a single cable that carried double 8 pin. At some point, I had issues with my system crashing under GPU load. After investigating, I found that the GPU wasn’t getting the power it needed from the PSU. Looking at the cable, it had started to melt the plastic with the connector in the PSU. I replaced the cable and it was fine, but now I only use one cable per 8 pin connector.

How does one build up a tolerance on the other end?
