Laptop battery recently died, and I’m planning a new PC build anyway, so I’m wondering: can I just remove the HDD from my laptop and connect it to the motherboard? Would I need any extra parts or hardware? I’m guessing no, but it’s hard to research on my phone. Any guidance is appreciated :) thanks!

    Hmm, I do have some battery-specific configs, but they shouldn’t make a difference, and they’re trivial to deactivate.

    The Linux kernel generally includes drivers for anything you could want, so I’m not concerned about crashes related to drivers.

    Thanks for the concern anyway :)
