Hello, Gentoo. My current rig is working well (hence the lack of posts to the list from me), but ....
The time is coming up for me to buy a new PC, the current one being around 7 years old. It's served me well for that time, but nothing lasts forever. Also, it would be nice to be able to build clang and rust and friends somewhat faster. So I'm looking at getting an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X processor, and using its inbuilt graphics rather than buying a distinct graphics card. But in the doc on wiki.gentoo.org, I can't find any mention of inbuilt graphics; all references are to graphics _cards_. Does Gentoo support my intended processor's graphics, and if so, how do I go about identifying the needed microcode (if any) and so on? Am I missing something obvious in the wiki? As a somewhat tangential question, would it be worthwhile getting water cooling in my new machine? In particular, to reduce the noise it gives off while building large packages such as clang and rust? Or is water cooling only sensible for really heavy users such as gamers? Thanks for the upcoming answers! -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
