I tend to always have the same apps and processes running all the time on my personal laptop. When I was on Windows with the same apps and processes running the RAM and CPU usage would have been double what it is on this new Linux install:
@th3j35t3r
Nice. What processor do you have?
@Jeber It's a Ryzen 9.
@th3j35t3r
That’s a great one. Liquid cooled, I presume. Are you into the RGB stuff?
@Jeber Nope and nope. 😜 - It's also got dual GPU's - an AMD Radeon and an Nvidia 3080 - in a laptop!
@th3j35t3r
Yeah, I admit water cooling in a laptop would be awkward. 😬 Did you assemble that yourself? It sounds like the kind of modification we did at my last job.
@Jeber I had it custom built to my specs like 2 and a half years ago.
@th3j35t3r
Considering what you use it for, those specs sound about right. Have you thought about upgrading to the 7950 X3D? I still have the container and little wrench that came with the Threadrippers we used to install. Those were beasts.
@Jeber Because it's custom and a laptop I think I'll stick with how it is. It's pretty perfect for me and if it ain't busted, don't fix it :-)
