TL:DW It's a 54:20 video of Fake Linus interviewing with Linus Torvalds. It goes over Linus's views on hardware choice, questions about Linux and several community questions.

The video is long, but it's a good listen.

That's such a weird build, why have that PSU? That build doesn't get even close to requiring 1600W, the CPU + GPU are at around 550W together

It's a perfect build because it validates my personal choice to almost always use Fractal Design cases.

Previously I was primarily going off of vibes, but those have now been upgraded to objective truths.
