What are you talking about?! What part of my current desktop strikes you as “not modern”?
Mobo: EVGA X299
CPU: i9-9820X
GPU: NVidia 2080
NVMe: 4x Samsung 980 PRO
Audio: onboard HD audio nonsense along with HDMI audio & Schiit Modi 3 DAC
Mellanox 10Gbit/s NIC bc I’m a nerd & ‘wired’ my house for fiber-optic LAN.
Literally everything works. Takes maybe a minute to get full GPU acceleration drivers installed and working flawlessly. Better yet, I have most resources available to the GPU for whatever tasks bc my OpenBox WM uses tiny amounts of resources.
Dell XPS 13" lappy, from 2019, is a similar story, full non-crappy Intel DRM GPU acceleration in minutes from initial install. Swapped out the internal WiFi card for something with broader support. Literally zero issues.
