  • I’d like to be able to say it’ll work, I’ve been gaming on Linux for years and just finished Doom Eternal at 5120x1440 at 120fps

    But I have the previous generation top end cpu and gpu, 16 core something and a 5900xt iirc, so we can’t quite compare

    One thing I did notice though is that your cpu seems weirdly overloaded? Or at least, the windows values are very different from the Linux ones? Are you dual booting? Or did you maybe reset something in the bios whilst switching?

    Just wondering if you might be looking in the wrong place

    Is that cpu one of those with an embedded gpu? That you’re maybe running the wrong hardware?

    Nm, looked it up, it’s a mobile cpu, no idea unfortunately






  • No sure about 64gb, but for performance/watt and reliable Linux I can really recommend the Amd p16s and t16(s?) machines from Lenovo. Have about seven in the office and they are excellent.

    I too, as someone in devops, am wondering what you need that much memory for. Do you simply really like VMs? :)

    Also, have you considered doing the really heavy stuff remotely? Whenever I need desktop type power (16 physical cores and 128gb memory) I simply wake the desktop, ssh into it and do it there.
