<h1>My Tools of the Trade</h1>
<p>
I know no one asked, but I love to talk about technology and what
I've got. This is not meant as a definitive "you should get these
things" list, but I mean... it couldn't hurt, right? ;)
</p>
<h2>Hardware</h2>
<h3>Desktop</h3>
<ul>
<li>CPU: Ryzen 9 5950x</li>
<li>Motherboard: MSI X570S Carbon MAX WiFi</li>
<li>RAM: 64GB of G.Skill Trident Z @ 3600 MHz</li>
<li>GPU: PowerColor Red Devil RX 6900XT</li>
<li>PSU: 1000W EVGA Gold</li>
</ul>
<p>
This is my daily driver system that's meant for all of my gaming and
programming needs. You may notice that these parts are all AMD,
where is the Intel and NVIDIA stuff? Well, I deliberately made the
choice to avoid NVIDIA because:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
Their drivers have historically not worked well with Linux and
that's a non-negotiable for me.
<small>(I have heard that the drivers are open source now, so who
knows what the future holds...)</small>
</li>
<li>
Their graphics cards were $200-$300 more expensive than their AMD
counterparts when I was building this system (even
<em>more</em> expensive now!!!) and I didn't feel that the
upcharge was worth it (I don't care about ray-tracing).
</li>
</ol>
<p>
And I avoided Intel mainly because AMD was just cheaper at the time
I was building this system, but I don't have any particular loyalty
to either-or. Both of their chips work perfectly fine on Linux as
far as I'm aware.
</p>
<p>
I run Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC out of necessity and because I have
an ISO with a license, but my daily driver operating
system is Fedora Linux, which has been serving me well. Windows is
only present to handle situations that Fedora can't (games with
invasive anti-cheat and proprietary drivers). When Windows 10 LTSC
goes EOL, I am probably jumping ship to Linux full time (finally).
</p>
<h3>Laptop</h3>
<ul>
<li>Model: Framework 16</li>
<li>CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS</li>
<li>RAM: 32GB of Corsair DDR5 @ 5600 MHz</li>
<li>GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7700S</li>
</ul>
<p>
Aah, the Framework 16. Probably the best laptop I have ever used
(and will hopefully use for the next several years). This laptop has
done basically everything I've asked of it and it still gives me
some wiggle room. If the time ever comes that this isn't enough,
most things in this laptop are fully replaceable, so as long as
Framework is still around when I need to upgrade this, I'll be set
for a long long while.
</p>
<p>
I only run Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC on this laptop, however,
because I only have one 2TB drive in it at the moment. If I buy
another one, I'll do the same dual boot setup that I've done with my
main desktop.
</p>
<p>
This laptop has been my main workhorse when I'm out travelling or
just don't want to leave my bed that day. I have no complaints
really, it does everything I want and more.
