From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

Yeah I need to get ram, but I'm afraid my psu will explode lmao, I have 3060ti razen 5 2600 and 16 gb ddr4 on 550 psu haha
This is not my main work computer more like an hobby, I have a computer from my work. And beside we have git so it's OK that the kids playing around with the pc
RAM doesn't consume much electricity. The two power hogs in a modern system are the CPU and the GPU—everything else uses <20W, usually <10W. 3060Ti is 200W, and your CPU is 65W. Unless you've got a lot more stuff in that case, you're not close to hitting your power supply's limit even if you overclock a bit.
