I see the raise of popularity of Linux laptops so the hardware compatibility is ready out of the box. However I wonder how would I build PC right know that has budget - high end specification. For now I’m thinking
- Case: does not matter
- Fans: does not matter
- PSU: does not matter
- RAM: does not matter I guess?
- Disks: does not matter I guess?
- CPU: AMD / Intel - does not matter but I would prefer AMD
- GPU: AMD / Intel / Nvidia - for gaming and Wayland - AMD, for AI, ML, CUDA and other first supported technologies - Nvidia.
And now the most confusing part for me - motherboard… Is there even some coreboot or libreboot motherboard for PC that supports “high end” hardware?
Let’s just say also a purpose of this Linux PC. Choose any of these
- Blender 3D Animation rendering
- Gaming
- Local LLM running
If you have some good resources on this also let me know.
Using pipewire, and I’ve tried both the SB X4 USB DAC, and a SBX AE-5 PCIe card. Obviously being Creative products that’s the cause of my issues, but I have found it very very hard to find alternatives. Every recommended option just supports stereo, it seems.
