Nvidia... I recently switched to AMD because of its issues on Linux/Wayland... Although it has less issues with Davinci Resolve

Cool setup, what I still have is a KVM switch from TE-Smart, they are available for rackmount and there are some that can do DP1.2, so 144HZ FHD is possible.

Hmmmm... as I'm also looking into building a PC for media creation on Linux, I'm kinda set on an all-AMD CPU/GPU rig. I think Davinci Resolve with AMD GPU on Debian might be a little bit smoother, as opposed to Fedora, but just like you, I guess I'll be finding out right there and then...

Question: Why did you rack mount your PC in the first place? The rack is in the same room so it still heats up the space and does not help with noise. Also, you are having to spend money on active cables and USB over ethernet devices. Also, thank you so much for making your videos. I recently built a budget gaming PC and a Windows license would have been too expensive so I installed Ubuntu and it has been working great so far!

I really want some very powerful servers. That is one of my dreams

[xNaxdy]

elgato on Linux is usually a no sadly, which is why I use blackmagic products instead, their Linux support is pretty good

[rabidrivas]

Are you going to do a follow up about your software setup? By the way do you run linux in your surface?

[Girgoo]

Latency problem with audio?
Active displayport in your case, does it take power from your PC or extra power cable needed?

[brads]

I think anything rack mounted is required to have loud fans :)

[Skyman]

Hello again mr Michael which distributions do you use for servers and what type of pc do you have

[anon_y_mousse]

Have you ever looked up how many of your viewers are subscribed? I'm curious what percentage that is, if you know and are willing to share.

[zrden_]

I want to say....nvidia is a bad decision

[computersales]

I'm surprised you didn't just build one hardcore setup and virtualize everything.

Do you have a discord, I would love to join your server.
