Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel, and Linus Sebastian, author of the YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips, filmed a joint video where they attempted to build the perfect PC for Linux while discussing component selection and talking about kernel development 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, on his previous workstation, Torvalds also used an AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPU (3970x). The hardware was selected for seamless operation with the default drivers from the vanilla Linux kernel. Notable features of the selection included the use of ECC memory, a cooler that is as quiet as possible, and the Intel Arc B580 graphics card instead of the expected AMD Radeon series for such configuration. Torvalds is using Fedora as his distribution.
