Jeff Geerling | Mac User Builds Linux Gaming PC @JeffGeerling | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
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?
