[Discuss] I need a recommendation for a Linux-compatible high-end PC builder

[Alan W. Irwin]

Hi Deryk:

[for reference in your first post on this topic you wrote]
I recently bought (via newegg.ca) an Intel Skull Canyon (where do they
get the names), which has a quad-core seventh generation i7,
together with 32GB G.Skill DDR4 RAM and a Samsung 500GB "gum stick" SSD.

And in response to my question about total power cost you added
in your recent post

As you should be able to tell from my posts, I am keen on Green, and
the number you have given above has certainly opened my eyes
concerning the Green nature of late-generation Intel solutions and
inspired me to do more careful comparisons of power consumption for
Intel, AMD, and ARM.

Thanks also for all the other questions from me that you answered.

Alan
