  • I attempt to build my first PC in 20 years. Last time I built a PC it was a slugfest between Intel's Pentium III and AMD's Athlon, and I went team red way back then.
    Let's see if I can put together over $3,000 in parts and build a great PC for gaming and creative work-but more importantly: how fast will it compile the Linux kernel?

      You did a Linus Tech Tips, too smart for your own good. Should have picked the latest Mint and headed straight to Unigine and downloaded Heaven from there to test your GPU. You already had a working AMD GPU driver and did not need to mess with it. The reason Phorex did not work is because the GPU is not enabled for packages launched from the terminal. There is a command to enable that, something about giving permission for the GPU to the user.

      Hey Mac people, I stopped using windows after getting frustrated with Windows 11. It was a clean install but a lot of games were buggy. I went to KDE Neon (I recommend latte dock for that Mac feel) and my entire steam library runs great, often with higher fps. A few games with EAC don't work in multiplayer. I hate fanboyism and I understand the appeal of Mac OS even though I have never owned one. I just think it is cool we can all meet in the FOSS world and have such a viable alternative to all the proprietary BS!
      Edit: Life is much easier in Linux with an AMD GPU, my 6800x in Neon gets almost the same performance as my friends 3080 in Windows.

      Please don't put 2.5V through the RAM... It will fry it... The current spec uses about half the voltage.
      The voltages have dropped way down since the 286, 386 and 486 days... The CPU uses about 1.2V stock and 1.4V with a mild OC (I would be surprised if the CPU doesn't reach 4Ghz on a mild overclock)

    Just to echo what others have said - I recently installed Fedora 35 KDE on an x570 + 3600x with no problems - noticeably more solidly reliable compared to Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distros I've tried in recent months. Having mostly used Macs since 91 all my machines are also hackintoshes but it's fun to multiboot OS's - Fedora KDE kinda feels solid in a similar way to OSX by which I mean it's more invisible so I can just run the apps I need to use. YMMV of course

    The `do-release-upgrade` command upgrades in-place from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 21.10 -- I think it is not a good idea to upgrade in-place, and would recommend some form of fresh install.
    (A rant about do-release-upgrade: The do-release-upgrade script is the equivalent of a full body, "new-internal-organs-to-old-skeleton" transplant... It switches the package repos to the ones for the new release, re-configures a few files and runs some release transition sub-scripts, and then installs the packages in-place for the new distro release... right over top of the old ones. I consider `do-release-upgrade` extremely janky. I've never had a proper working system after doing that, although admittedly the last time I tried that was probably like 8 years ago. I think the concept is too nuts. No idea why anyone acts like it's a viable option. Canonical should just abandon do-release-upgrade.)
    My preferred alternative: You can actually manually reinstall over the same partition using the installer GUI (custom install --> manual partitioning and re-use the / ("root") partition WITHOUT FORMATTING), and it will nuke everything but your home folder (preserves only the "/home" dir), which results in, for pretty much all intents and purposes, a fresh OS, without having to nuke your home folder (which keeps most of your user config intact via various .dotfiles in ~/. Also keeps your web browser user profiles intact, so you're not starting from scratch getting the browser set up the way you like.).
    The irony: What is treated as highly dangerous (custom install over your existing root partition) results in a working system 100% of the time, in my experience, whereas I have a 0% success rate with do-release-upgrade.
    (Granted, my preferred "reinstall fresh Ubuntu OS over existing partition" method is legit dangerous for data loss, if you aren't thinking clearly and format your existing root partition, then yeah, you just told the installer to delete all your precious files. And it's just a checkbox, basically. So yeah, DANGEROUS. But also leaves your OS usable. Worth it, IMO. Just never do it distracted, because formatting everything you care about is kid of a big deal.)
    So, I dislike the messaging that points people to `do-release-upgrade` and away from reinstalling over the same partition. Furthermore, I feel there should be a dedicated "refresh" mode in the installer that does this WITHOUT presenting an option to format. (Looks like Pop!_OS just added this to the latest version of their installer! Woo!)
    P.S. If you want to catch the distro-hopping bug, you should try Pop!_OS, or Ubuntu daily ISO with Gnome 42, for a nicer desktop experience than Ubuntu 20.04, IMO. For a more adventurous distro-hopping experience, I second trying Manjaro to dip a toe into Arch, and then uh... Like a GhostBSD LiveUSB image to try a BSD distro, lol.
    For Windows converts, or Snap haters, Linux Mint is more of a "it just works, even for people who mostly just know how to use Windows" distro than even Ubuntu. But the package base is Ubuntu LTS. So it really is "just Ubuntu" in terns of almost every internet guide or software package you might want to use on it. And Snaps are disabled by default. They have to maintain their own Chromium and Firefox packages, but they do it so users don't need to understand or use Snap to have an Ubuntu-like experience.

    Thanks for that Livestream/Video and the work with different Cameras/Angles etc! Ever good when a Mac User comes out of his comfort zone. ;P
    Ubuntu is good but Unity is counter intuitive. it's also really refreshing when a pc is simply put together for use as the next high-end system for show purposes *yawn*.
    especially when setting up many developers should look at why it does not run as they imagine ;)
    I really understand why people like Mac and the Apple ecosystem so much. The video shows again what is wrong with the PC. Especially with the Software. It is always expected that the users have to deal with something, whereas the programmers could simply implement it better.
    That's also what i can't tolerate when the next linux interface is advertised with "and now even better for windows switchers", which doesn't offer a hint of the same functionality or does anything better in usability. don't get me wrong. i love linux but headless ;) KDE is the closest thing I can think of as an alternative.

    Gnome on Ubuntu 20.04, Alt+F1 then type the name of the app you want is the keyboard shortcut.

    Alt+pgUp and Alt+pgDn let you cycle through terminal windows.
    Ctrl+w to close the tab.
    Ctrl+d to exit out one level inside the session, and eventually the whole session.
    If you install the driver through apt after adding the repo to your sources, the drivers will be included when you upgrade. Make sure to get the dkms package as well, since that will update your drivers when the kernel upgrades.

    Thanks for trying Ubuntu instead of another "experimental distribution flavor of the week". Honestly in 30 years of Linux and 40 years of BSDish I consider Ubuntu the most straight forward Distribution for Beginners and Professionals alike. Everybody without a REALLY GOOD PLAN and REALLY GOOD REASON should not use anything else. I am just feed up with newbish people installing PopOS Beta and Puppy Linux and Arch Bleeding Branchj without a good reason and even less experience.
    (Btw as I said, I have some 40 years of Unix/Linux/Posix experience and even I just put Ubuntu on a lot of machines just for the sake of "get it going with as little effort as possible. Because I have installed THOUSANDS of systems in my live and don't need to prove to myself I can use experimental crap anymore)

    One of the problems with Ubuntu, especially the LTS, is found when using "cutting edge" hardware. Sometimes the drivers aren't backported to the older kernels (right now running 5.16 on my Arch computer, and the video shows 5.13), but other times you need to download "hardware enablement" packages.

      Your assumptions are partially wrong here.
      Where you are wrong: Your Ubuntu is not running a vanilla Linux Kernel. It is running an Ubuntu-modified Kernel. The Ubuntu-Kernel is using a lot of additional patches and backports, even for small updates.
      Where you are right: Using an HWE-Kernel solves sometimes resolves some problems. The easiest way is to just download a milestone-release of Ubuntu and install that one, e.g. Ubuntu 20.04.4 has a newer HWE than 20.04.1, able to use newer/more hardware. Though at least in my 30 years of Linux experience most times an older HWE installs fine, maybe lacking here and there a bit on VERY new hardware but you are still able to upgrade to a newer HWE anytime later without pain by following the usual HOWTOs and Google.

    Literally yesterday, I've installed a RX 6700 XT on my Ubuntu 20.04.4 PC ... given how many issues you had (and I did as well), the drivers in an archive file simply don't work with Ubuntu 20.04.4.
    Here goes what worked for me:
    Went to www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-6000-series/amd-radeon-6700-series/amd-radeon-rx-6700-xt and downloaded the .deb package for "Radeon™ Software for Linux® installer version 21.50 for Ubuntu 20.04.4" (release notes: www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-amdgpu-unified-linux-21-50)
    Installed the said package, it made several packages available by adding stuff to the apt sources. I think I just run amdgpu-install in the console after that and it did the job.
    I think with the current Ubuntu kernel version there are still some issues with OpenCL ... But for Vulkan and OpenGL it seems to work fine.

      @@JeffGeerling Oh ... I notice after re-watching the video, you've installed the 20.50 instead of the 21.50, can't blame you, I did the exact same thing (since the 6700XT initial driver support was in the 20.50 it shows first in google search as it is written in the release notes).
      In my case I was upgrading from a GTX 950 GPU and though I had some config or package causing issues... but no, simply the wrong driver, 21.50 did the job.

    In my oppinion the Mac is the absolute opposite of the Pi spirit.
    A golden cage putting their visitors on a leash in the most drastic way.
    Btw I absolutely hate apples blatant lies and white washing.
    Also changing several core APIs like SEVEN times in 20 years is... absurd. I mean it is easier to port some software to an Amiga dating back 30 years than to an Mac nowadays.
    The PC on the other hand is inbetween and much closer to the open Pi approach than to the closed Mac approach. Give a standard PC an open Firmware instead of UEFI, GPIO-pins, preinstalled Linux and you have an x86-Pi-Like.
    On the other hand I get grumpy about the curent direction of the PC market. Too much RGB and Bling Bling, too little Bang Bang and much too much Big Bucks. Try getting a compact, robust, discrete looking workhorse able to cool 500W silently with room for 3x5.25 externally, 5x3.5 internally. Baaad luck. Honestly most modern PC cases give me eye cancer.
