I mean, they give a wonderfully higher quality of life for compiling but they are $2,500-6,000 just for the CPU. Of course this can be done on much lower-cost CPUs! A 12-core Ryzen is already at the "I have lots of money to spend" end of what I'd suggest for something like this.
- lrvick 3y agoIf you are compiling Linux kernels for a living, odds are near 100% your time waiting on compiles costs more than an employer buying you a beefy CPU.
- reaperman 3y agoSorry, by "something like this" I meant LFS. Obviously the word "this" was ambiguous as GP said "I compile linux kernels for work".
