My "setup" (computers)
I have a lot of computers. I'll just go over a few of them.
The gaming box
Specs:
- CASE: Cougar MX330 (ATX Mid Tower)
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 3.4 GHz, 6C/12T
- RAM: 32GB DDR4-3200 (2x16GB Silicon Power sticks)
- GPU: XFX AMD Radeon RX 570 XXX Edition 8GB GDDR5
MOBO: MSI B450-A PRO MAX- STORAGE: 120GB Netac 2.5" SATA 6GB/s SSD, 1TB 7200RPM HDD of some sort
- OS: Windows 10 Pro, Debian GNU/Linux 11 Bullseye
- DE/WM: Windows (Windows), Xfce on X11 (Debian)
This PC is currently out of commission until I can get the motherboard replaced. It is (or was) my primary gaming PC, where I play normie games with my normie friends.
The daily driver
Specs:
- MODEL: Dell OptiPlex 790 (Micro ATX Tower)
- CPU: Intel Core i5-2400 3.4 GHz, 4C
- RAM: 16GB DDR3-1333 (4x4GB Hynix sticks)
- GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7770 2GB GDDR5
- STORAGE: 500GB Western Digital Blue 2.5" SATA 6GB/s SSD, 1TB 7200RPM Hitachi HDD
- OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 Bookworm
- DE/WM: Xfce/xfwm on X11
This PC is my daily driver that I do all of my work on, web browsing, research, chatting, etc.
The petit-bourgeois laptop
Specs:
- MODEL: Apple MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2020)
- CPU: Intel Core i3-1000NG4, 1.1GHz, 2C
- RAM: 8GB LPDDR4X-3733 8GB
- GPU: Intel Iris Plus chipset, shares VRAM with system RAM
- STORAGE: 256GB PCIe SSD of some sort
- DISPLAY: 13.3" IPS LCD, 2560x1600
- OS: macOS 13 Ventura
I had Debian on this laptop at one point. It's getting the Linux treatment again when Apple inevitably stops updating this model in a year or two. For now, I keep macOS on it to learn how to use Mac for kicks, and to blend in with all the other hipsters at coffee shops. I use the libre firewall LuLu to prevent Apple from phoning home with my data.
I use arch btw 🤓
Specs:
- MODEL: Dell Latitude E5400
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo P8400, 2.26GHz, 2C
- RAM: 4GB DDR2-800 (2x2GB sticks)
- GPU: Intel Mobile 4 Series chipset (GMA 4500 possibly?)
- STORAGE: 512GB TEAMGROUP 2.5" SATA 6GB/s SSD
- DISPLAY: 14.1" TN LCD, 1280x800
- OS: Arch Linux with Linux-hardened kernel
- DE/WM: Sway on Wayland
This laptop has been with me for a while, and has seen many different OS configurations, ranging from Windows XP, 7, and 10, to Ubuntu, Debian, and now Arch. Mainly using it to learn Arch, but it can be somewhat unwieldy with the awful battery life.
I am feeling lazy so I will maybe list more later. I lost count of just how many personal computers I have in total, but my guess is near 30 including the ones listed above, ranging from an old 286 desktop from 1989 to the gaming box, which I built in 2021. And the collection is ever expanding. I may have a problem.
Video game consoles
Since consoles don't really have much in the way of configuration permutations, I will just list the basics of what I have and update with model numbers as I find them out.
Screw Nintendo for not even printing the years their units are manufactured.
