Does anyone know of a good linux distrobution for beginners, or should I just use freenas?
I made a home server out of scrap pc parts, which is currently using windows 10 pro. However everywhere I look about servers it always says that "if you use windows you're leaving performance on the table", and it seems that learning linux is helpful down the road.

Fan Control on a Powerspec G906
Hello, I purchased my Powerspec G906 about a month ago and I absolutely love this rig. I have been trying to find a way to turn up the fan speed when playing certain games and I cannot seem to find anything.

I'm attempting to update my profile, but all the fields are greyed out and don't permit me to type in them, with the exception of the "Location" field. Is there a limit on how many times I'm allowed to change things?

Micro Center Membership Question
I logged into my account today and noticed I am a Micro Center Member. I also noticed that it says "Completely free until 2024". This kind of has me worried. Does this mean I will be charged for some kind of renewal come 2024 or will it give me the option? I do not want this membership if I am going to be charged for it…

why is the service "PC Water Cooling Radiator Flush - Advanced" so expensive?
I understand that maybe around $100–$200 USD would be an okay price for such a service, but 500? to clean a small loop? Why does it seem like Microcenter is going overboard with this price? I don't understand. It's basically the price of a brand new loop for my system.

Can someone else make a return for me?
I am unable to get to the Micro Center store myself, but my friend is willing to go for me. If he has the item and the receipt, will that be okay, or does the person making the return need to be the person who made the purchase? Does the person making the return need to swipe the card that was used for the purchase? Thanks
