Lost a friend and very sad. She didn't die. She's not my friend anymore and I can't figure out why.

Your Macbook was a friend and even though she just went up and died, you should still try and keep it around for sentimental value.+1. I still have the original Dongwa, if it matters. He now lives in a nook between Nadine and Quetzal II.

As mentioned earlier, Edison croaked on me. However, due to his nature, he can be easily brought back to life, and made more powerful in the process. And given how the most important parts of him has been declared obsolete by NVidia and AMD respectively, it's probably a silver lining in the cloud. Granted, for some people this is as horrifying as Dr. Frankenstein building his monsters, but there's a bit of mad scientist in every geek. That, and it's cheaper to upgrade than to buy a new gaming PC outright. However, given my tight budget at the moment, looks like he'll be out until well past December, well past the Steam lucky draw which I have no real hope of completing now :/
Yes, Dongwa can enter the lucky draw, but then he seems to have trouble running Steam. Maybe OpenSUSE was a bad idea and it'd do me good to have them both on Ubuntu? :/ But even the head of GNU and FSF has spoken out against Ubuntu for the Amazon search lens widget which he sees as a lame money-grabbing attempt. Clementine? Still working on it...
