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.

The Intel Battlemage is an interesting choice. I'd put one in non-gaming PC if the price was right, but what is his reasoning? I have alchemist cards that have been running 8 hours a day on QA PCs perfectly fine for 2+ years. They sucked for the first couple months until Intel significantly improved the drivers.

Sound.

He isn't gaming, so he didn't need a powerfull gaming card that can get noicy.

He just needed something that can drive his two monitors (think they were 8k), and be silent.

I figured it out. It's drivers. Intel provides open source Linux drivers.

You "figured it out"?

He literally says in the video it is due to sound.

Do you think he would use GeForce drivers?
