My dad has offensively fast internet and he barely uses it, I wonder if it would make sense to set up a seedbox at his house using some old laptop which I can control remotely. And now that that's done, I guess it wouldn't hurt to set up a web server or email server at my grandma's house. And if I really push my luck, I'll try exploiting my schools network through a friends dorm. Any anons tries this?

If you want help:
>Assemble your parts list
https://pcpartpicker.com/
>How to assemble a PC, select components & more (kind of outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Build_a_PC
>State the budget for your build (and country if not the USA).
>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate.
>Clarify your goal for build improvements: lower price or improved specs?

CPUs:
>G4560 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R5 1400 - if you can't afford better or specifically need 8 threads but not a very powerful CPU
>R5 1500x - Buy the 1600 instead
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; 1600x if you want higher stock clocks
>i7 7700k - only for 144hz
>R7/Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/mixed use; Not required for just gaming

GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60hz at high, running most maxed older games at 144+hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@60hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; Go for the R X580 if you can
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games

RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen benefits from high speed RAM

General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.
The Ryzen lineup comes with exceptionally good stock coolers. (with the exception of the 1600X) consider using them over any sub 35USD cooler.

Is Linux Mint right about classifying kernel updates and such as dangerous and disabling them by default?

I'm starting a new job soon and I can choose a laptop. I'm torn between the X1 carbon and the MacBook Pro 13".
The X1 has a bigger screen but at a worse resolution (1440p should be still okay) and a worse aspect ratio
X1 is lighter, but the MacBook is slightly thinner.
I will be mostly running GNU+Linux, but most of the stuff I can also do with macOS. I can't use Windows.
The X1 has a better battery life but I don't know whether 15 vs. 10 hours makes a real difference.

I will mostly be coding on it and light software testing. Anything that runs for more than 5 minutes will be done on a tower or a server farm. So CPU performance/thermal throttling is not that important for me.

Is the emoji bar of any use while programming? Can you put refactoring shortcuts there or something?

Also, cost is virtually irrelevant.
