HBU brah?
Got mine about a week ago, haven't done anything with it yet. Chances are that it'll mostly go to rent.I have been thinking about building a new PC though.

Not since jan/feb-ish. But I'm looking at building a machine that can do GPU passthrough so I can primarily use linux but run a Win10 vm as though it were running natively. I like the idea better than dual booting, anyway.

One of them's a server that belonged to a business that got flooded so that's more just a project for tinkering and learning's sake. It's possible that only the motherboard needs replacing, looking at the water line, but there's no way to know for sure. Cool machine though, even though I'm not expecting any miracles from it. Two others are just regular business computers, one I was going to turn into a home media / game emulator / local minecraft server for my roommate and I, and the other probably just a productivity machine. I was also given a 1st gen intel "compute stick" that supposedly overheats like a bitch but I'm probably just going to mess around for the novelty of it. Probably just experiment with lightweight distros. Don't really see much use for it besides that.Laptops- one's my main computer, one's a chromebook that I put Gallium OS on for college, one I have LTSC on that I pretty much just use for torrenting... and the last one is a Pinebook that isn't really getting used for anything right now. My main laptop is the most current piece of hardware but then it's still a 2015 model gaymer laptop, and I'm struggling with storage space and general inability to upgrade. So it'll be nice to go back to a proper modern desktop, but I'm mostly going to have to start from scratch.
