This is a list of many of the computers I have as well as their purpose, and why I have them.

I am always tinkering with some computer or another, so odds are this list will never be fully up to date for some reason or another.

Main Computer

My main workstation that I physically use to do all my work. I use this often to remotely manage all my servers, play games, and almost everything that I do. When working remotely I often remote into this computer using my self hosted rustdesk instance.

Microsoft Surface Pro 7

This is my tablet I use to take notes and do stuff with the stylus. I tried linux on it using the surface-linux project, and it worked fairly well (a lot faster), but the touch screen was extremely buggy, I considered it unusable (since I do not use a keyboard with this device).

Mac Mini 2009

My only Apple device, this one is not actually running MacOS since I did not like it (and it is out of date). Right now it is used for printing on my Canon printer which does not have Linux drivers that work well enough and for things that I need a bare metal windows machine (such as ODIN3 for flashing samsung firmware)

Old HP Laptop

For testing, I broke this laptop hinges accidentally when taking it apart since I missed a screw….. Also, the hinges were very bad quality, they were held together using very cheap flimsy plastic. On top of that, the laptop is very slow (and the fan is slow as well) so the laptop is kind of useless.
