Okay... so now that the hardware is here, we need to start planning the software. I wonder if Sasha really understands how much work and time this will take :p
I'm still undecided about OS. Debian would be good for rock solid performance and customizability, but Ubuntu would be good for community support.
Here's what I know we need:
- Linux base, gotta be lovely to look at and impressive
- Proprietary nVidia Drivers
- Steam
- PlayOnLinux
- Stage 9 - haha! Because you know I want to try it on this rig! Star Trek special, anyone? Sasha - crack out your uniform!
I'm thinking the main OS will go on the m.2 in a single partition (to avoid Sasha filling up her /boot partition or /var by accident... she just wouldn't know to check), with the SSD mounted on /home. I'll move /tmp into tmpfs (ramdisk).
Thoughts?
