This is hardware and software I use to make all this magic happen. I think this is a neat idea and like seeing people’s setups.

Desktop Computer
I run a dual OS setup using VFIO so I can have Linux and Windows running at the same time so I can play games. I used to use Wine and Proton and in general it’s fine but I mod Skyrim and Fallout a lot and it just goes easier with Windows. This setup is the best of both worlds
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 2.2 ghz
- RAM: 32GB – 20GB Linux / 12GB Windows
- Storage
- Linux – 500G Samsung Evo 860
- Windows – 250G Samsung Evo 860 – Boot, 500G WD Blue – Storage
- Linux GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 1650 GTX
- Windows GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 1660 Ti
- Displays
- 2x 24″ Dell S2415H – Dedicated to Linux
- 1x 24″ Viewsonic VX2453 – Split duty Linux/Windows
- Keyboard: ZSA Moonlander Mk1 with Cherry Brown switches
- Mouse: Logitech MX Master 2S
Laptop
It’s a 16″ 2019 MacBook Pro work gave me, I use it to run Teams. Other than that I hate it and I hate MacOS. It has a touchbar, which is a stupid thing. The keyboard sucks. It’s rubbish.
Software
This is stuff I use all the time:
- Firefox
- VS Code – OSS
- Joplin
- libvirtd and virt-manager
