What kind of junk am I running now?

  1. Desktop
    • $350 ThinkStation P520 build (bought 2023, hardware ~2016)
      • Xeon W-2140B, Radeon 5700xt, 4x32gb RDIMMs
      • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 (broken, pending reinstall)
      • Fedora 39 (GNOME)
      • Getting a little long in the tooth, but still decently performant.
  2. Laptop
    • ThinkPad T14 G2a (bought 2023, hardware ~2022)
      • R7 5850u, 2x16gb DDR4 3200
      • Fedora 39 (GNOME)
    • ThinkPad T480 (bought 2022, hardware ~2018)
      • i5 8350u, 2x16gb DDR4 2133
      • Windows 11
  3. Phone
    • Pixel 6a (2022)
      • Tensor G1, 6gb
      • Google Android 15
  4. Peripherals
    • Monitors
      • Dell P2418d x3 (1440p 24")
        • These are a good balance of size and resolution for me. 120ppi is sharp enough and looks decent while being usable without any scaling at the OS level. I quite like these, they provide a lot of screen real estate with a small footprint and the three of them cost me less than my one 4k monitor.
      • Dell S2722QC x1 (4k 27")
        • Fairly nice looking monitor, working around fractional scaling isn’t fun though
    • Keyboard
      • Cherry Stream TKL low profile membrane board. Easier on my fingers than a mechanical keyboard
    • Mouse
      • Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed - not playing FPS games often anymore so I don’t mind the weight. Battery lasts forever.
