Life without Windows or OS X

GNU/Linux is quite possibly the most important free software achievement since the original Space War, or, more recently, Emacs. It has developed into an operating system for business, education, and personal productivity. GNU/Linux is no longer only for UNIX wizards who sit for hours in front of a glowing console. Are you thinking about switching to Linux and want to learn how to use it? Have you been using GNU/Linux for some time and want to learn even more? This is the place for you.

I have not posted for while...

I been working on a new Linux PC build. I plan to post about my progress in the near future. It will not be a guide on how-to install and configure GNU Linux, but a list of the components I will use to build my personal GNU+Linux system. 

Back in August of 2017 I put together a Ryzen 3 series Linux-Ryzen-PC. One year later I upgraded to a Ryzen™ 7 2700 processor CPU Cores 8 Threads 16. This year I plan to put together a small form factor PC. Putting together small S.F.F systems will cost 35% more to put together. The smaller you go the more expensive things cost.

When choosing hardware components, it’s important to consider factors such as Linux compatibility, power efficiency, and expandability. My build will run everything must run everything natively on Linux as vendor supports everything baked into the Kernel. In addition to the hardware, it’s important to choose software that is compatible with Linux and meets your needs.

Black Friday 2023 falls on Nov. 24. but Black Friday and Cyber Monday are no longer just 24-hour events, in fact they start weeks ahead of time. I will be building my system based on the best deals. I have many components already.

Components I have collected over the years:

Case: Silverstone Raven RVZ02
Power supply: Fractal Design Ion SFX-L 650W 80 PLUS Gold
CPU cooler: be quiet! LP BK034
System RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 PC4-25600
Storage: Solidigm™ P44 Pro Series 512GB PCIe GEN 4 NVMe 4.0 x4 NVMe M.2 2280

To complete my build I will need a CPU, Motherboard, and a dedicated GPU if I can find a good deal.

More later.
