Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

Checked the logs in Windows, you’re right!
A corrected hardware error has occurredfrom PCI Express Root Port. I reseated the drive with no change.I should mention that this laptop has always had issues with what I assumed to be thermal throttling. It would play games fine for 10-15 minutes before becoming a slideshow. I eventually stopped trying.
I have set that option and I am currently downloading a GPU benchmark. Is that an appropriate test? What should I be looking for in dmesg?
A GPU bench might raise temps in a way that would cause the problem to recur, but I’m not sure you’d see anything without doing something to get data flowing to the drive at the same time, so maybe try running the GPU bench and at the same time run
sudo dd if=/dev/{your drive} of=/dev/null bs=1M status=progress(just pull data from the drive and write it to nowhere, but be careful about the of and if or you might overwrite your whole drive), and while those are going, runsudo dmesg -win another terminal and watch for the same error you were getting before. If you don’t get errors, the problem was probably just some power state problem that the kernel parameter fixed. But I have to tell you, unfortunately, that the presence of the error under windows is a bad sign that points to a hardware problem, so I don’t feel very hopeful. Independent of all the other suggestions, could you try runningsudo nvme smart-log /dev/{your drive}? That might give you some data.Thanks for the help. If it’s the hardware then it’s the hardware. I will try a few more things like booting from the drive in a different PC, but I may have to spend some money.
That seems like a solid next step to figure out if it is the drive or the board (or the whole thermal situation in the rig). Good luck and sorry about the bad news, thanks for humoring my troubleshooting compulsion
