If you really wanna own your computer you should coreboot and me clean it B)
Installing Debian and realizing it works fine unlike what IQfy told me
Debian is amazing... What did Mr. G tell you about it?
the fact that its small but extremely powerful
The way some mini pcs and laptops are built fascinates me. Lots of engineering goes into it and learning how it works is awesome.
Nothing. The people who get "excited" by computers are just amateurs, clueless about what they're doing to themselves. Any lifelong computer toucher will tell you it's not about excitement or enjoyment or pleasure. It's just about staving off the withdrawal.
Been using computers all my life and it's still fun buddy pal. Depends on why you use computers though.
>What about your PC truly excites you these days?
Nothing. It's boring, exactly as it should be. If infrastructure is exciting that means shit's breaking.
i don't care about desktop computing anymore. i have done everything there is to do. i moved on to real life hobbies and just use my computer for IQfy and youtube
>I wrote hello world in over 100 programming languages. Twice in lisp.
Wow were you even interested in tech in the first place?
That sounds pretty boring
Running LLMs on my PC
Looking forward to buying a tesla K80 for LLM stuff (only good GPU available in my country)
Also designing my own PC case out of sheet metal, 18L with full ATX PSU and M-ATX motherboard support
customizing my linux distro and all of the programs i use. meme answer but its a nice feeling to incrementally improve something and immediately appreciate the results. i also enjoy using older software because the customizations i make feel more permanent and cross-platform
Fricking around with networking that I am incapable of actually understanding and a desire to set up a stupid watercooling loop that goes through multiple PCs.
Despite a tendency towards procrastination, I've always liked starting stupid projects.

I love fixing them, upgrading them or modding them in ways beyond what the manufacturer intended. I'm also getting into component level repair, bga rework and pcb design so I can do bigger stuff later.
Updates. And local AI, I guess.

I have as much fun building pcs now as I had 25 years ago.
I build pcs just to feel happy.
Sadly I have too many pcs.
At least they’re cheap.
Building, I actually fully agree with you. The feeling of finishing a build is rather uniquely satisfying. But I have no need to build one right now.
Sell your PCs on Facebook market place for a huge markup.
The fact that I'm using Gentoo. It feels so good to know that I actually own my computer, no systemd and no Wayland.

Fast and easy to use, local AI, looks awesome, lots of versatility that comes in handy gradually over time.
I can run only arch now (with x11 i3 nvidia) and game on steam and do all my coding and Blender. Literally no need for Windows and Mac.
