Falcarius tends to buy a new pc every 5 years. His first computer was Shuttle XPC Cube which he bought himself for his 18 birthday. The next computer he just got was a motherboard bundle and just put it in an HTPC ATX computer case. His next and present computer he got at the end of 2014; an ever-reliable but not spectacular Intel Core i5-4460, 8 GB RAM, 120GB SSD and 320GB HDD which he put together.
Probably in the next year, as it is starting to show its age in that the CPU and RAM can't really handle dual monitors as well as they did a few years ago; either or both are probably going to die soon. He thought of upgrading at the start of this year but the CPU kept fluctuating in price and going out of stock so he has put it off for now. He is another person dinosaur using Ubuntu-he had his second pc on dual boot (Windows XP and Ubuntu) and his present one has just had Ubuntu ever installed. Despite using Ubuntu for like a decade Falcarius is pretty much a Ubuntu noob for the most part; for example, he has no idea how to stop it going on the GNU Grub line after it got corrupted or something at the start of this year (he lost no data so might be just an idiot and put it in some random setting- it just goes to Grub Line whenever it is switched on), so he has to just type 'exit' in the command line to get to the password page. Falcarius does not do anything too complicated with his computer so Ubuntu perfectly usable; just Netflix, Spotify, Steam, web browsing, teleconferencing, and word processing. Every few years when he can be bothered he just updates Ubuntu and at present he is on Ubuntu 19.10 which came out 3 years ago, but can't be bothered with few hours of getting everything backed up and customising all the settings.
When he does buy a PC he will probably build one around either AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel Core i7-10700, and upgrade to 1 TB SSD, 32GB RAM and also his present 120GB SSD.
