    I’d always go as minimal as possible to have the most resources available for things I want to run, not for things I have to run.

    I can still remember running Windows 3.1 on my Windows 98 Pentium machine (booted into DOS 7.0). The sheer responsiveness… In a blink of an eye the system was ready, apps would open. The last time I felt this kind of responsive speed was running KolibriOS: http://www.kolibrios.org/en/

    I’ve run plenty of low resource OSes/Distros on low-end hardware but… there’s nothing sweeter than running low resource OSes on high end hardware - it feels like the future (the way it was suppose to be).

    Dumb question. Why should someone ever buy a HDD nowadays?

      This will blow your mind, but datacenters still buy tapes. It’s just stupid cheap. In the future, chemical storage by DNA or something similar might play the same role for cold storage.

      16TB 7200 RPM the same price as a 2TB NVME.

      Do you want 2TB super fast or 16TB that still can transfer at decent speeds?

      The answer is yes.

    Maybe its just me buying “old” technology like the 24-core threadripper but how are y’alls putting more than 128GB in your mobos?
