Linux PC build (2025)

Hello,

it’s me again. Some of you might remember me from this post, in which I was asking for feedback to build a Linux PC in 2025.

Stuff happened and I didn’t went through with it. So this still my first attempt at a build. Well now I’ve got time and want to try it again.

As you may notice, I’ve ditched the Z790-9 mother board in favor of a MSI PRO B650M-P. My dream of building a coreboot-system is officially dead, thus I decided to build an AMD-System.

Short Listing:

If you notice anything wrong or have suggestions/improvements don’t hesitate to point them out.

Thanks in advance!!!

    I have a similar build, but everything is a generation behind. I really like Garuda Linux. Arch keeps the latest drivers comin’ and It’s a nice easy install. Btrfs+snappertools come setup by default, and it’s saved my bacon a few times. Really nice to be able to have grub boot to a snapshot and just work. And the snapshots are auto created everytime pacman is run.

      Thank you for your response. I don’t have many issues on the software side of things. I’m currently using vanilla arch with btrfs and am quite happy with it. I just never build a PC before, so I was asking for some additional tips on the hardware side of things.

        Ahhhh have you double checked to make sure your GPU will fit in your case? I see you went micro atx for case and mobo, but gpus nowadays be chonky. It should fit, but I’ve seen new builds where the gpu didn’t fit in a normal atx case due to layout and mobo positioning.
