I'm not sure what the pressure would be. And there are dust filters everywhere but the rear fan (which is exhaust anyway). The fans are pretty similar, and at least by count: 5 intake (2 radiator, 3 bottom), 4 exhaust (3 on top, 1 rear

(Author) Probably is, but hopefully not far from the sweet spot in efficiency for the power supply. I didn't mention it, but my preferred GPU would be a 6800XT, which this should easily cover too. Also, it doesn't run the fan at l

Similar to aijony, and something I will be writing in a followup article. Off the top of my head, and based on my experience so far, my biggest would be: 1. Guix is written in Guile Scheme, and I love anything Lisp (a joy to work with) 2. S

I better get right on it! If you are curious, you can see my current Guix config here [0], though not very commented. But those files (combined with the rest of my dot files) would reproduce this system configuration. [0] https:/&#x2F

I can't answer all your questions, but a few at least. You should use the latest kernel (and firmware) and Mesa you can. That will give you amdgpu (kernel driver) and radv (user Vulkan driver) from Mesa and the best compatibility and p

Some people have made builds with the whole thing immersed in some liquid no? Sounds...messy, but interesting.

It gets worse: on top of things like cars and other consumer electronics, even the cheap chips you need to make a keyboard are hard to get! I wanted to build a mechanical keyboard from scratch but have put it on indefinite hold until it get

Slow loading? They were reduced to around HD size (from larger), but probably should have used smaller thumbnails in the article. Noted. Also, the server is seeing some traffic so might be slower.

I'm not sure exactly the Nvidia situation, I know people have it working but still a little bit of work. I think the drivers are fine, but also might need some changes to make sure Nvidia's GL libraries are used. But it does work.

The issue is loading firmware with the kernel, which linux-libre won't (by design) do. You can run the full linux kernel instead (but not in Guix default channels).

(Author here) Yeah, no more 5.25" drivers, but honestly I haven't used my DVD drive in the previous computer in a very long time. I'll probably get an enclosure or external one for the rare CD ripping I do. IO panel is in the

Sadly too true still, but same with Nvidia, and even older gen stuff. Hopefully things improve, but at the very least would be helpful if manufacturers and stores had good bot measures, queuing, or some waitlist function for real humans.

(Author here) One photo had a bare NVME right after I installed it, before I put the heatsink on that came with the motherboard. This is my first NVME in a desktop; while I haven't done any storage benchmarks, I certainly don't fi

They have open registration last I checked, with an invite code available in the publicly accessible part of the forum (sorry, don't have a link right now, but probably they prefer you go directly there anyway).

Might also suggest looking at GNU Guix (as a packager manager or full distro). Then the whole system will be build on Guile Scheme too! I'm a recent convert and have been loving it. Edit: and yes, their installer lets you select EXWM a

I think that's where I saw it! Was just browsing around some SteamVR stuff and thought that was a very cool project. Will be fun to try out. And I was surprised it hadn't been on HN before, as far as I could see.

I've just put Guix on a new desktop and have been really enjoying it. Required a bit of work, but I love anything Lisp related so it has been a joy to do the hacking. Also, a great and active community for its size, very helpful group.

As long as it is text-based. At least you can actually look at a CSV and see what is going (wrong), as well as use all the text tools we have. Not that there aren't problems as the article points out. But some binary file based on the
