TL:DW It's a 54:20 video of Fake Linus interviewing with Linus Torvalds. It goes over Linus's views on hardware choice, questions about Linux and several community questions.

The video is long, but it's a good listen.

That's such a weird build, why have that PSU? That build doesn't get even close to requiring 1600W, the CPU + GPU are at around 550W together

Torvalds likes his computer quiet so that psu with so much overhead, the fan probably won’t ever turn on.

Just don't put fans in to begin with 🤷‍♂️

It's a perfect build because it validates my personal choice to almost always use fractal design cases.

Previously I was primarily going off of vibes, which have now been upgraded to objective truths.

Sounds like the type of builds I use to do. Generally looking for most bang for the buck so the power supply was more than necessary. Handy when upgrading unless a new socket comes out (ugh).
