IMO System 76 makes nice Linux machines that are easy to specify in terms of # of cores, amount of RAM, size of NVMe, etc. Plus when you run into pesky Linux problem you can call tech support and speak with real live human Linux expert. -- jeff

I worked with a six-core i7 running at 4.xxGHz and 64GB RAM, which seemed fine, but I was clearly bottlenecked by my HDDs.
