The original fundamental purpose of building Linuxplosion was editing Everyone. Some computerphiles friends joined me in finding the best components to use, as well as in assembling the computer. In particular, a huge shout-out to my friend Giorgio, who had the patience of bearing with me during all of the assembling process.
I worked as a plumber all of August 2019 to buy it, and it has definitely been worth it. We finished assembling it the 5th of August.
Originally, the computer run Windows, but in 2020 I switched to Ubuntu. The only program which I miss is Lightroom (that runs in a VM, anyways), everything else works beautifully.
I do not use Linuxplosion much since it is not physically in the same city I live in.
