Fair enough! Anyone with existing 240v receptacles of any kind is a lucky duck, regardless.

I've already had the coolant valve fail... So what are the odds the iccu goes out immediately after, right!?

A 240V 20amp circuit I think would meet the needs of 99% of commuters in the US. If your average miles/kWh is around 3.3 and you're charging at 80% of the 20amp breaker limit (as you should be), even factoring in 10% losses in power transmission, you're still charging somewhere around 11 miles per hour. Easy 100+ miles overnight with zero infrastructure change outside of a couple wire nuts and a cheap charger. Hell, depending on local codes, you might get away with slapping in a nema 6-20 receptacle to make it even easier...

Ah, makes sense. I bought mine used and my state doesn't allow lemon claims on used vehicles, regardless of condition at time of purchase or status of warranty, so I'm SOL if it has a fundamental issue that the manufacturer decides not to solve.

And furthermore, you can share your internet from your computer, if running Linux, to other devices via Ethernet or WiFi! There may even be a super hacky way to do it through Bluetooth as well, but I'm gonna assume that wouldn't be worthwhile to pursue...

Did your iccu fail multiple times? Or were you able to file it as a lemon due to an unwilling/uncooperative dealership service center?

Oh goody, and I just bought a used Ioniq 6 last month! It's been in the shop for a couple weeks now for a failed coolant valve... Here's hoping the iccu issue is formally addressed before it seemingly inevitably fails on me! At least my dealership has been prompt about providing a rental and updates on status for this particular issue.

Literally finally let my windows partition upgrade to windows 11 last night. It took like 3 HOURS to do. Then I shrunk the partition way down and clean installed my Bazzite dual boot over the extra space and that took MAYBE 15 minutes. I use Windows MAYBE once every 6 months or so. Linux has just been the better experience for 99% of my computing and even gaming needs.

The bazzite project website has an explicit "how-to" for extra drives. Worked for me with no issues, though I am definitely more experienced with tinkering with that kind of thing.

Bazzite would be my suggestion. Throw the full install on the ssd then format the HDD for general storage. I'd be a little concerned about the 1060 3GB GPU though. Drivers will likely be fine, but the "10 series" have notoriously awful async compute and take a much larger penalty when running games/apps under proton/vulkan if I recall correctly.

Oh, well that all still works fine then as long as you aren't tripping over the cabling. The USB over ethernet adapter is like $50-60 in the US. A one-way long fiber optic HDMI will probably be similar in cost, and ethernet is super cheap. Way lower latency than trying to use moonlight/nvidia streaming or steamlink over wifi.

Do you own where you live? I ran a long HDMI and an ethernet through my attic from my office to my living room. The HDMI does display for my gaming rig in my office, and I have each end of the Ethernet plugged into an "AV Access" brand usb-ethernet-extender. Works perfectly to make my PC a console-like experience in the living room. Only downside is needing to go into the office to turn it on.
