Linux bros, where you at?

Yo!
That's a hell of a spec. No respect.
I prefer small specs with great usability.
I also use a Thinkpad T480 =) Small enough?
All my servers are 2016-era Dells and HP, refurbished Desktops
I have a xps-13 but my daily driver is a ThinkPad T480 now. It's a really good machine.
That screenshot was my Desktop. Gaming and Stable diffusion only
My 2016 refurbished Desktops are used as servers , runs nostr relay (wss://relay.poster.place) , fediverse server, bitcoin, lightning, jellyfin, etc
So I looked at all my machines for this and all of them consume too much power. I'm in the UK so I don't have much play.
Today I bought a fanless hp with 4gb mem and 16gb sad to hopefully run:
+ Email server
+ nostr relay
+ Potentially a lightning node
I don't think I can fit anything else.
Power should be something like 20W max.
T480 is nice right? Cheap! Had to upgrade memory to 20GB and installed backlit keyboard
Crazy cheap! I got 12 cores and 32Gb memory. Really pleased with the beast.
Comes with infrared camera which I can only consider if the CCP demanded for it.
T480 came with 12 cores? Really? Is it i7? I got i5
Oh yeah baby.
I7.
The price was a little over 1300, but I got it via a company so had a large discount.
Wait... You have high spec GPUs on servers? What are you building?
And I'm also probably more of mainstream (Ubuntu/mint/fedora) bro.
Although soon I will be installing Debian only on my personal machine for privacy reasons.
Mainstream sends too much data to their servers.
Oh what data ? I know systemd pings home. I forgot the rest.
I keep coming back to Debian Stable, just works, reliable.
I was on Gentoo for a few months, got annoying.
Bleeding Edge Distros are just gay
