Bottom needs a gamer chair to prove that he's a gamer. A gamer games 45% better with a gamer chair. That's why they're shaped 45% differently. Without a gamer chair, a gamer does not truly game. But it's very important that they see it.

Sad to see a nazi getting his pictures shared here. ๐
Im pretty sure he also has a 3d printer
Are the desk legs actually angled in the bottom picture or is it a weird perspective thing? If it's on purpose, why?
aesthetics, i would guess. everyone has different tastes.
The guy in the lower pic looks like such a chud.
But standing desks are awesome, I too would pick the top over the bottom setup
The tech bro is elxokas, a youtuber from Spain
Is he as depicted?
Worse. He's a nazi scumbag that poses as a neurodivergent victim in need of therapy and tolerance whenever his hate speech backfires. He's also been caught redhanded using fake accounts to hound and harass people he dislikes. He's not related to tech in any way and isn't an expert in any field. Just your average toxic streamer making as much noise as he can.
a random consumer*
Not shown: a cubic meter of obscure developer boards and gadgets that hardware manufacturers randomly send to Torvalds to integrate into Linux.
Also his RAM is ECC.
On account of the cosmic space beams.
Why is this guy posing like he doesnt have the default windows background?
He'd displaying his lack of personality.
I've gathered some like that. Or I've misunderstood and people are easily led morons. One or the other.

I had a friend ask for recommendations for prebuilts. I found one that was under budget and over spec for their needs and sent them the info. They ended up going with an overbudget one with arguably worse specs (they didn't really need the specs I was suggesting but bang for buck it made sense and was still under budget) because it had all the lights that the seller could shove in it. No real judgement if that's your style and you have the money, but it just upset me to have spent time doing research for them only to have them ignore all of that because they failed to mention that lights were important.
The bloody lights everyone is obsessed with nowadays caused me numerous nights of shit sleep. Some devices designed by companies who clearly think too much of themselves decided that they would keep their LEDs on despite the computer shutting down.
If anyone else is experiencing this issue, look for ErP in your BIOS/EFI and then turn it on/enable it.
Caveat: you won't be able to charge your USB devices using your PC USB ports while the PC is shutdown if you change this setting.
Turns out that my CPU fan requires a proprietary device to turn off the rgb in it, or adjust it at all.
Unless the fan has a separate battery back up (which would be very weird) then this should not matter if you enable ErP.
AFAIK enabling ErP will shut off power to all components when the computer is turned off. Good luck!
I swapped the motherboard on my old desktop /now server, and now it does this. Fan lights stay on when it's shut down. It's a server so it's never off except when something went wrong but it's annoying to think it's on when it's not.
Next time I need to shut it off I'll check for this setting, thanks for the tip!
Uhm, nothing worse than when people ask your opinion on things that you literally need to know to perform your job and then just ignore it completely.
Only the keyboard lights matter!
Unironically, yes. Especially if you have a nice keyboard that allows layers.
Layers? What's that mean in this context?

Old one was space efficient af though
Still has a keyboard that's way too big though. See him having to use the very corner of the mouse mat in order to use it comfortably.
You can pry my tenkey from my cold dead fingers, haha
I need it for Blender. If anything I need more keys for all the shortcuts.

do you have a walking desk? yes WELL YOU BETTER GO CATCH IT
I keep getting caught off-guard seeing current photos of Torvalds. He's just like...a guy.
And honestly I'd rather my mission-critical software be written by "just a guy" than by whoever Mr. Battlestation is down there on the bottom.
Mr. Battlestation that is running one GPU, but has the combined cooling to run a nuclear power plant
Cooling? You mean the spinning leds?

"It really doesn't look like much. And I have to say, the most interesting part in this picture, that people mostly react to, is the walking desk. It is the most interesting part in my office, and I'm not actually using it anymore."
โ Linus Torvalds, The mind behind Linux
Imagine have a nice custom setup and using the default Windows desktop. Weird flex...
I can't imagine spending thousands of dollars on a setup and then running windows on it like it's in a some office cubicle somewhere.
