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.

ECC ram. Hardware stability was the main factor.

Real Linus mentions spending days hunting an instability bug in the kernel to have it turn out as bad ram on his pc.

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.
