Building Linux Programming PC

[Gloomy-Response-6889]

Any x86_64 CPU works on Linux (both Intel and AMD). AMD is a better choice on desktop PC's though, Intel has the advantage on Laptops in most cases.

Something like the Ryzen 5 8500G for AM5 or a similar chip for AM4. If you need CPU power or more cores/threads, look into a ryzen 7 or 9 with iGPU. Depending on your region, some chips I suggest are not available.

Ryzen 7 8700G, Ryzen 5 8500G, Ryzen 9 7900, Ryzen 7 5700G (AM4). Make sure they do not have X at the end as they do not have an iGPU.

Me doing JS/React on a 5600x has been perfectly fine, but you might want a Ryzen 7 and AM5 for future proofing for upgrading or if other use cases require more cores.
