  • For me it was a couple reasons:

    1. my brother installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my desktop for me when I was in high school, and I was enamored with the different desktop layout. It got me started on the journey.

    2. maintaining it is much easier than windows. Running one command/script to update a system is much faster than heading to the right window or menu and hoping Microsoft delivers you an update. Plus if it breaks it’s easier IMO to troubleshoot and fix.



  • Ryzen 7 5800X w/ be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler

    ASRock X570 motherboard

    32GB (16GB x 2) DDR4 RAM @ 3200MHz. Corsair LPX

    EVGA FTW 3 RTX 3080 Ti (snagged used for $615!)

    1TB Intel 670p SSD (Windows 11), 500GB Samsung 970 Evo SSD (Manjaro), 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD, 3TB WD Red HDD

    Corsair 750W PSU (I forget the model, and yes I know it’s a little low-powered for my GPU. It’s a holdover from when I had a 5700 XT and 3600X)

    Dual-booting Windows 11 and (as of today) Manjaro. I had been running good ole’ Linux Mint for awhile but got bored and tried something else.
