I mostly use a laptop, specifically a zenbook. This LTT video is probably more useful for you though: [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Correct. Torvalds built his PC himself and his words are quoted in the ZdNet's article to which the video author refers to as he builds a "copy" for his youtube channel. The worth of the video is seeing how huge the CPU (1) and the cooler (2) are. 1) [VIDEO] 2) [VIDEO] Which is less surprising once one reads the specs: [LINK] "Default TDP / TDP 280W"
Read original comment ↗Didn't Linus S. build this system? [VIDEO] "Good enough" is what he was told. It sure was, until it wasn't.
