TL:DW It’s a 54:20 video of Fake Linus interviewing with Linus Torvalds. It goes over Linus’s views on hardware choice, questions about Linux and several community questions.
The video is long, but it’s a good listen.

TLDW on his hardware recommendations?
- chill interview, recommended to watch
- hardware recommendations see below
The parts from the build according to the youtube description:
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X
GIGABYTE TRX50 AERO D Motherboard
Samsung SSD 9100 PRO 2TB SSD
Noctua NH-U14S TR5-SP6 Cooler
Intel Arc B580 GPU
Fractal Design Torrent E-ATX Case
Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 1600W 80+ Titanium PSU
ASUS ProArt Display PA32QCV 31.5" 6K HDR MonitorECC ram. Hardware stability was the main factor.
Real Linus mentions spending days hunting an instability bug in the kernel to have it turn out as bad ram on his pc.
That’s such a weird build, why have that PSU? That build doesn’t get even close to requiring 1600W, the CPU + GPU are at around 550W together
It’s a perfect build because it validates my personal choice to almost always use Fractal Design cases.
Previously I was primarily going off of vibes, but those have now been upgraded to objective truths.
Sounds like the type of builds I use to do. Generally looking for most bang for the buck so the power supply was more than necessary. Handy when upgrading unless a new socket comes out (ugh).
The Intel Battlemage is an interesting choice. I’d put one in non-gaming PC if the price was right, but what is his reasoning? I have alchemist cards that have been running 8 hours a day on QA PCs perfectly fine for 2+ years. They sucked for the first couple months until Intel significantly improved the drivers.
I think the most interesting bit was his stance on ECC memory. Basically he says everyone should be using it.
Worth stating that this video was much more about the interview, rather than giving hardware recommendations.
There’s a parts list on the YT description.
Here it is (links excluded):

Is there somewhere i can watch this without giving Fake Linus monetary gain?

One of the best videos I’ve seen on youtube. Torvalds is just cool af.
This is so cool
Like how they did community questions
