Great post! Totally agree on the chair and keyboard, they make coding so much easier. I’m running dual 27" IPS monitors with FreeSync — big help for my eyes.
For dev work, my Ryzen 5 + 32GB RAM setup is more than enough. If anyone wants to check what’s actually slowing their system, this PC bottleneck calculator is really useful.
The post was originally written in 23 May 2020, to be fair I've simplified things since then 😅
A Benq thunderbolt 27" 5K ips monitor so I have 1 cable to rule them all, a secondary 24" vertical monitor (connected to the main one) and the magic mouse/keyboard on my macbook pro.
Less hassle, more straightforward for anything work-related (e.g. more robust and Unix-based OS, no need for configuring stuff between two worlds -windows, wsl- and more comfy for working on the go), then some ergonomics on top of it in my home office and done ✅😄
I only keep a windows machine for occasional gaming and, the more bloated windows becomes the closer I am to installing Debian + proton instead.
Thanks for your insight
I’ve also built a few systems over the years and one thing I learned is that even with good parts, performance issues can show up if the CPU and GPU don’t match well. A PC Bottleneck Calculator
really helped me when I was upgrading. It simulates different hardware combinations and shows where the system might slow down, so you can plan smarter and avoid wasting money on mismatched parts.
the calculator is beneficial during the planning phase of building a new PC. By simulating different hardware combinations, users can make informed decisions and tailor their builds according to specific performance goals and budgets. It also helps in understanding hardware compatibility and future-proofing the build, making it easier to upgrade components without a full system overhaul check your PC bottleneck. In essence, a PC bottleneck calculator acts as a decision-support tool, empowering users to create balanced, high-performance systems without wasting resources or dealing with performance frustration.
As someone from El Salvador I feel this a good setup only works when your gear is balanced so your chair screens and hardware all pull their weight and checking for bottlenecks first saves you money and headaches here.
