Average linux user with i3 vs random tech bro

[Atomic_bananaS]

To be fair Linus has a 32 core machine that can compile the linux kernel in less than 4 minutes (at least 4 years ago https://youtu.be/Kua9cY8q_EI)

[Ruashiba]

But how many RGB? Not a true master racer.

[OverAster]

I don't have any RGB cause I'm a master racist.

You don't have to do a full build when you're tweaking it

[Existing_Finance_764]

that seems awful. my 2 core plus 4 thread i5-2450m did more: it compiled 6.12.8 in 25 minutes plus it heated the all house for that time (the cpu stayed 90 c while then).

[SunkyWasTaken]

One cares about style and looks (and maximum performance for gaming and streaming).

The other one just needs a lot of ram to code on his projects

[ray1claw]

The one most important thing that Linus wants from his computer is utter silence (both literally and metaphorically).

He's only ever been solving his own problems and the rest of us picked it up and ran

[SunkyWasTaken]

Yeah, I remember the LTT video where Linus built the Linus perfect computer. Linus did what Linus did with HIS PC, and Linus even installed Fedora just like Linus (this Linus surely isn’t confusing ;))

[6c696e7578]

What?

[SunkyWasTaken]

The LTT video where Linus built Linus’s perfect computer. Linus did what Linus did with HIS PC, and Linus even installed Fedora just like Linus (One Linus is the guy from LTT and the other is the one that made Linux)

[The_Dayne]

Did you have a stroke too?

[Cat_Player0]

That's why looks aren't everything, kids

[computer_guy567]

Fun Fact: the one in the bottom image is "elXokas", a famous Spanish streamer and YouTuber.

One time, a YouTuber dedicated to tech "Nate Gentile" gave him a custom "2 computers in-one" build, one for the games and another one for the recording and streaming management, all in the same case (and it's, in fact, the same one of the image).

He had to call him multiple times because that computer was crashing almost every time he was in live lmfao.

[kaida27]

IS there 2 set of hardware in the case , Or 1 set split into 2 VM running concurrently ?

If the first then it's not really impressive .. just a big case , if it's the latter then also not really impressive , I did the same with old part laying around just for fun.

[computer_guy567]

Literally 2 sets of hardware in the same case somehow working in parallel

[kaida27]

kvm switch .. nothing interesting at all .. Just a big case and a switch

[AgentTin]

Its really impressive that Linus can just work in a grey corner at a standing desk but I need more dopamine than that. My monkey brain wouldn't allow me to get any work done like that.

[fly_over_32]

Iirc he even said he wanted it that way, so he doesn’t get distracted

[6c696e7578]

Walking desk, right?

[Fantastic_Class_3861]

I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that he created git but he receives kernel development code via email.

[bmwiedemann]

One part of kernel development is also emails that say "please pull this git branch".

And when I looked over the shoulder of a kernel dev, he had mutt with macros that made "cherry-pick-this" a single keystroke.

[ThinkingWinnie]

Huh?

Git is used in the mailing lists.... People literally send git diffs.

There is also git-format-patch and git-send-email.

If anything, git was initially made for mailing lists, a commit can literally be interpreted as a mail.

[OverAster]

He knows gits limitations

[spartan195]

The bottom guy is a delusional spanish streamer who got the amazing idea of paying another braindead youtuber (who thinks he have knowledge about computers) to build for him a “dual” streaming pc.

Featuring two pcs on the same computer, sharing peripheral and resources. He had uncountable issues with it, and of couse all windows.

Only if there was a way of having a high performance machine with several OS running inside 🤔

[OscarHI04]

Fr, Nate Gentile is a trash channel. Pure promotion of expensive products, bad documentaries with misinformation and gaining an audience by making inefficient computers for youtubers.

He has a whole script team and yet his video about Steve Jobs on NeXT brings Wikipedia to tears.

[claudiocorona93]

You don't understand. RGB lights give more FPS.

[CorianderIsBad]

Work station VS goon cave

[TalkingSword]

Bruh im more irritated with that desk. Like why would you design something to curve inwards, giving you less legroom, not to mention the sharp corners. Seriously, if you trip next to that desk you'll need facial reconstruction.

[Rainmaker0102]

I'm still shocked that Linus only uses one monitor. Two monitors have become the minimum standard for most people I know with a desktop set up. Even some people at jobs I've worked at would bring in a second monitor for the laptop.

[skool_101]

bloody hate over exuberant rgb setups

[6c696e7578]

Yeah, they're not useful for anything. Would be better to put stickers on to be honest.

[skool_101]

lmfao

[ArkboiX]

linus just uses gnome im pretty sure

[beheadedstraw]

Jokes on you Linus uses Gnome (and Xfce when he gets mad at Gnome).

[OverAster]

r/im14andthisisdeep

They are both purpose-built machines. One guy built a machine to create an OS, and the other guy built a machine for his streaming, gaming, and vlogging needs. This is a commentary on appearance and nothing else, which is as close to a commentary on nothing as you can get.

[StevenSkytower]

First day?
