Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, and Linus Sebastian, the author of the YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips, filmed a joint video where they attempted to build the perfect PC for Linux, while discussing the choice of components and talking about kernel development and Torvalds' hobbies.
The computer was equipped with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X CPU, an Intel Arc B580 GPU, 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. Notably, on his previous workstation, Torvalds also used an AMD Ryzen Threadripper series CPU (3970x). The hardware was selected for seamless operation with built-in drivers from the vanilla Linux kernel. Among the features was the use of ECC memory, a quieter cooler where possible, and the Intel Arc B580 GPU instead of the expected AMD Radeon series for such a configuration. Torvalds utilizes Fedora as the distribution.
