💻 I have four computers that I use every day (in addition to my home lab rack, which contains 36 computers including one 56 core VM server): MSI “Gaming” tower with Windows running Ubuntu Linux in VMware for streaming; two Macbook Pros, one for work, one for personal; !irl Belabox Linux on a Jetson Nano on battery power.
I stream from the Tower or my personal Macbook Pro (or my Pixel 6 phone). It has two operating systems:
Here are some other details:
Monitors
💻 I have four monitors and a laptop to my left, 24”-ish and 4k. I use 1080p for streaming. I hate huge monitors, slow as fuck and you cannot reconfigure them. Three of the monitors are in a line across the top of my main monitor with the top of the main at eye level. Others are on my speakers. No fancy, stupid mounting hardware.
Operating Systems
💻 I run Ubuntu Server running in VMWare Workstation Pro on both Windows desktop, and Mac laptop. Personally, after running a Linux desktop for more than a decade I want nothing to do with Linux desktops. Most people cannot run Linux desktops at work, and I want to help them. Plus, OBS is better on Windows than Linux, which is essential for the BelaBox IRL streaming I do.
