## Description

This is my first custom desktop PC, which replaces an old HP OMEN "gaming" PC,
which is now unusable because of Windows 11 :(.

I was already planning on using Linux on this host, so I was smart enough to
plan using Linux-friendly components so that I don't have to deal with a lot of
troubleshooting, especially with NixOS.

This is my main workload computer, my comfort zone, my home! I mostly planned
components to do full-stack developement, and game developement (osu! ;))
without having to endure the pain of JetBrains eating all of my RAM.
But I also play video-games from time to time and it handles that pretty well!

I also do music production, but unfortunately the music industry is not open
enough to be able to do that inside Linux, which means that I have a dual-booted
stripped Windows 11 installation to do just that.

## Specs

**Motherboard**: GIGABYTE X670 GAMING X AX V2

**CPU**: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X @ 4.7 GHz (with iGPU)

**GPU**: ASRock Radeon RX 7700 XT Challenger

**RAM**: 2 x G.Skill RipJaws S5 Black: 16 GB DDR5 @ 6400 MHz CAS 32 (32 GB total)

**Storage**:
 - Boot drive (`/dev/nvme0n1`): Crucial P3 1 TB
 - Data drive (`/dev/nvme1n1`): Kingston NV2 2 TB

## TODOs

- [~] Finish tuning my i3 environment
- [-] Move to hyprland
- [ ] Remove dual-boot and do GPU-passthrough (with second GPU) to run
      virtualised Windows 11.
