Didn't Linus S. build this system? ▶ this video "Good enough" is what he was told. It sure was, until it wasn't.

Correct. Torvalds built his PC himself and his words are quoted in the ZdNet's article to which the video author refers to as he builds a "copy" for his youtube channel. The worth of the video is seeing how huge the CPU (1) and the cooler (2) are. 1) ▶ this video 2) ▶ this video Which is less surprising once one reads the specs: link "Default TDP / TDP 280W"
