Description

Distribution

gollark: That would be neat, although probably hard to cool and power sensibly since desktop CPUs are very hot.
gollark: At least mine actually has replaceable memory/storage, and adequate cooling.
gollark: Possibly. It might be a mindset thing, inasmuch as I prefer having somewhat upgradeable/repairable hardware and more open/flexible software stacks because I have tons of time to tweak stuff.
gollark: Also, you can get it on sane non-Apple laptops without the hassle.
gollark: No, Linux is probably better in terms of resource efficiency and being able to connect to things.
