Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel, and Linus Sebastian, creator of the YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips, collaborated on a video in which they attempted to build the perfect Linux PC, discussing component selection, kernel development, and Torvalds' hobbies along the way.
The computer was configured with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X CPU, an Intel Arc B580 graphics card, a GIGABYTE TRX50 AERO D motherboard, a Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB SSD, a Noctua NH-U14S TR5-SP6 cooler, a Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 1600W 80+ Titanium power supply, and a 31.5-inch ASUS ProArt PA32QCV (6K HDR) monitor. It's worth noting that Torvalds also used an AMD Ryzen Threadripper (3970x) CPU on his previous workstation. The hardware was selected to run smoothly with the stock drivers in the vanilla Linux kernel. Specific features included the use of ECC memory, a quiet cooler if possible, and an Intel Arc B580 graphics card instead of the AMD Radeon series expected in such a configuration. Torvalds uses Fedora as his distribution.
