“The shortage stems from a lack of wafer capacity, and securing additional wafers takes at least four to five years,” he said. “We expect the industry-wide supply shortfall to persist at over 20 percent through 2030.”

      Well, the main upgrades needed are CPU and GPU for gaming, which is definitely subpar on recent games.

      Linux is definitely part of the plan though, but my impediment is laziness (same reason the PC upgrade was delayed).

          Yep. I get stuck in analysis paralysis too. Like the price of GPUs in particular it’s been hard to time a ‘good time to buy’ a major upgrade in the last decade because there’s being something driving price cycles artificially multiple time and for extended periods.
