Linus Torvalds, a creator of the Linux kernel, and Linus Sebastian, the author of the YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips, filmed a joint video in which they attempted to assemble the perfect PC for Linux, discussing the choice of components and talking about the development of the kernel and Torvalds' hobbies.
The computer was equipped with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X CPU, Intel Arc B580 graphics card, GIGABYTE TRX50 AERO D motherboard, Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB SSD, Noctua NH-U14S TR5-SP6 cooler, Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 1600W 80+ Titanium power supply, and a 31.5-inch ASUS ProArt PA32QCV (6K HDR) monitor. Notably, Torvalds used an AMD Ryzen Threadripper (3970x) CPU on his previous workstation as well. The hardware was selected for seamless operation with the stock drivers from the vanilla Linux kernel. The selection featured the use of ECC memory, a silent cooler whenever possible, and the Intel Arc B580 graphics card instead of the expected AMD Radeon series in such a configuration. For the distribution, Torvalds uses Fedora.
