This part is a bit messy, but hopefully the point comes across. Otherwise it is the usual video viewing, music playback, web browsing, general office suite work. I do happen to rip blu-ray, DVD, VCD, burn discs, interface with legacy or obsolete hardware as well. Due to physical limitations, cards need to be swapped around.

Here I use the Sound Blaster, Blackmagic Intensity Pro or Canopus ADVC-300 (firewire) along with software like AviSynth, AvsPmod, VirtualDub, x264 just to name some. Where things start to get more obscure is digitizing of analog formats and video/audio encoding. Most games seem to have some sort of workaround or direct support, so I’m not too concerned about this part. Expansion: Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K, Creative Sound Blaster ZxR, firewire card.Storage: (OS disk) Corsair Force Series MP510 480GB m.2, (general storage) Western Digital Red disks.RAM: 32GB total G.Skill Trident Z DDR4 3600MHz CL15 (8GB sticks).For all I know I’ve overlooked something which makes Linux not viable for me. Thus, I’m making this post where I describe my computer specifications and usage. Linux has come a long way with regards to software and compatibility, and I think the time might be right to actually take the final step. I have never been able to actually move over to it as my main desktop workhorse, mainly due to software compatibility. Over the past 20 years I have used Linux and BSD systems (mostly Debian) for various specific tasks, mainly due to the software stability. However, I’m not unfamiliar with Linux and unix-like systems. My main uses, besides DOS, have been 98SE, XP, 7 and now 10. I started with DOS in the 90s, so command line use isn’t scary for me. The short time I’ve used 10 has been enough for me to seriously consider alternatives. As many others, I have moved over to Windows 10, used 7 until the day it went EOL.
