My first computer was a real potato. It was so good that Windows updates basically didn't work. When I collected enough money through my holiday jobs at the age of 17, I was able to realise my own RGB dream.
This is not an advertisement, I do not receive any money. I mainly want to share experiences.
My computer currently consists of a 2070 RTX and an Intel Core i5-8600K. The mainboard is the Prime Z370-A from ASUS. My mouse is the Corsair Glaive RGB and the Tatstaur is the K95 RGB Plantinum, also from Corsair.
My operating system is Linux (Solus).
I can only recommend my case to everyone, I have the version without the glass panel, but I like the design very much and it is very robust and easy to clean.
The Glaive RGB from Corsair is a bad mouse, because the mouse wheel is covered by a rubber layer, which easily spins. Corsair's support for this is great. The keyboard is a nice gadget, which I can only praise, but it is also very VERY expensive.
I can't complain about my CPU and my motherboard. However, since I bought my CPU, AMD has become much better at manufacturing processors (as of 2020), so my next CPU will probably come from AMD.
The Nvidia GPU is not bad, but Nvidia has rather mediocre GPU drivers for Linux, so my next GPU there will probably also come from AMD.
My operating system is Linux, as mentioned so often. The distro I use is Solus. It is very user-friendly, and in my opinion one of the few distros that looks damn good without any work. Some simple and big distros (*cough* Ubuntu *cough*) just look bad.
I also tried Arch once, but failed in the installation process. Solus unfortunately has a small problem in that it's a small distro, which means it can happen that the package you're looking for isn't there. However, there is a great community where you can ask for help.
I am passionately NOT fond of mobile phones. That's why my current mobile phone is a friend's old one. However, when I buy a new phone, it will definitely be a fairphone. I think the idea of a fairly produced mobile phone is worth supporting. It's relatively expensive, but it's easy to repair and it's made to last. It's also cheaper than iPhones and similar overpriced stuff.
If you don't believe that Faiphone is an ethically correct mobile phone, maybe Greenpeace can convince you.
