 So I'm on Linux now, but obviously I cheated, because this is a SteamOS machine (pre-installed). Need to re-learn enough to be able to make responsible choices on a new install. First up what init system to do? {openrc, runit, s6, or dinit}.

-'dinit' is out (no C++ for me) - so runit wins by default [also future desire to run busybox, so it's the natural choice]
+Going to give artix-lxqt-runit variation a try. Mostly just a stop gap to see if I can actually get a bloated Linux system installed before a more serious effort with BuildRoot. First de-windows victim computer will be an AMD powered APU.
+
+**3/**
+
+Looks like the workaround for my locked UEFI secure boot Enabled on the second machine was to "Set Supervisor Password", afterwords I could disable secure boot and APM, but still no way to enable legacy BIOS "Boot Mode".
+
+**4/**
+
+Somewhat surprised, Artix using the graphical install just worked out of the box (AMD APU). Got confused post install when 'top' shows 'Xorg' instead of 'XLibre' but the package manager says XLibre is installed.

 Cross compilation is up. Just like on windows with GCC I have to disable all warnings because there is no way to turn off “function called through a non-compatible type”. They obviously should have had warning IDs and an ID based disable.

 Found my first of perhaps many Wine “fix me”s looks like they didn’t emulate NtQuerySystemInformation() for use to get the TSC time scalar. Also implies all PC devs do this wrong, else Valve would have had this implemented already.
