RE: Building My 1st PC- Step 3 Building It

in #pc3 years ago

Thank you, the case is very beautiful(even more in person than in pictures) and everyone who's seen it compliments it. I plan on using it mostly for everyday tasks(hence the really cheap GPU) with some programming and very light gaming involved(playing Batman Arkham Origins right now, a 7 year old game and it runs very well). I'm using windows for now, but am thinking of adding linux in either a VM(I would want to get my second kit of 16 gb of ram first) or linux dual boot.

Sort:  

You can run Linux natively in Windows 10 very easily using Windows subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2).
See my post re setting up a witness using it.

If you got another 16Gb of RAM you could comfortably run a witness or seed node without impacting the performance of the PC for your everyday work or gaming.

This is much simpler and will have better performance than a VM because its deeply integrated in Windows and runs the Linux kernel natively (not via emulation).

I definitely need to look into WSL2, I'll check the post out. Downloading 300 gigs of data will make my isp not happy. I've got limited data even at in home wifi.
