Electrocution is electric execution. Assuming you're still alive, you shocked yourself. Pet peeve of a former electrician, forgive me.

For what it's worth, I just switched from Windows 10 to Fedora KDE Plasma and it's been perfect so far. Only hurdle was windows kept corrupting the flash drive I was trying to make until I figured out the right order to do everything. Now I can make it so that when I close a window it bursts into flames and disintegrates, awesome.

I've been really happy with the pair of Flexon 609s I got off Amazon for $85 a few years ago. Still good as new after falling asleep in them and dropping them multiple times. Contact them if you aren't sure you're ordering the correct width, they have some listings that don't seem to show up while searching for certain sizes. I'm probably going to get a second pair just because I don't want to go back to my last pair even for the time it takes to replace lenses.

As Peppycito said, they don't make sparks, which is important if you're working somewhere that could have explosive fumes. The lanyard is traditional for sailors' tools to prevent loss as well as dropping it on someone below. Mostly decorative now but it's convenient to be able to let go of the tool if you need both hands for something.

I meant that if you have a dedicated GPU, I think you can update your bios either way. My understanding was that the warning was because you wouldn't be able to get graphics output with an old bios version that didn't support the igpu

I've been out of the loop for a bit, so I could be wrong, but I think that warning is specifically about using the integrated graphics on the processor and isn't a concern if you have a dedicated GPU.

As far as RAM goes, I went with 32GB when I built my system but I've never used more than 16 that I'm aware of and I have three monitors full of Firefox and chrome windows and tabs, a cluster of background programs, live wallpaper, and a custom rainmeter interface.
