From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Their top-of-the-range Epyc 9684X has 1152MB :)

That's definitely a CPU for server (unless you are a general consumer with lots of $ 🙂 ).

There definitely are vendors ignoring common sense and putting socket SP5 on desktop boards.

No argument about the price, I think list on these is something like $13k USD.
