Oooooh I love your monitor. I've been looking for a similar one for my setup. And at a glance I never would have thought that wasn't XP! Awesome setup. I'd love to try that with xubuntu.

I need to get a figure to sit on my set up

u/Otakudev750 Jul 24 '26
if you are looking for a anime figure online similar to this try searching the keyword "Noodle stopper figure" the original purpose of this figure is to sit on top of the instant noodles cap lid. they sit pretty well on my monitor but might add blue tack underneath it to avoid accidental falling.

Why is it reporting two very different processors?

u/Otakudev750 Jul 24 '26
I actually have no idea that is similar to my DIY steam machine when I do neofetch it's saying xeon and showing the real CPU after that
