This is my first setup since moving away from home and into my own place with my partner. I finally had the ability to setup my Raspberry Pi running Plex, qBittorrent, and a Samba share. We use Plex more than we use Apple TV or Netflix at this point because it is just so much less of a hassle, and we would cancel them immediately if we did not get them free with our phone plan.
I have my work Macbook and PC both connected to a KVM to easily switch between the two. I run both Win10Pro and ZorinOS in dual-boot, but I primarily use Windows as the last thing I want to do after work most days is write code (I'm a software engineer). Recently my PC's primary use has been to stream games to my Steam Deck that it is not powerful enough to run. My partner and I spend a good amount of time on the couch playing our own games next to each other as they've recently taken over the living room TV with their PC to play their millionth run of Stardew Valley.
I've mostly been playing Tetris Effect Connected but I just finally got around to starting RDR2, so that will probably take over soon enough. I also jump between The Binding of Isaac, Borderlands 2, and Minecraft quite a bit.
I added some more pictures below. The decorations around my desk are nothing spectacular, but they are all things that make me happy, and I don't like to be surrounded by too much unnecessary clutter. If you have any questions about my setup feel free to ask!
Nice setup! What's the monitor?
Thanks! It's a 49" Odyssey CRG9. It's rated for 120Hz, but like most Samsung panels you can push them a bit. I currently have it at 144 Hz and haven't had any issues. I got it refurbished on Amazon for $800.
Love mine as well. Works perfectly in linux with freesync, and i've used it to finish off a lot of my Steam backlog.
And 120hz at 5120x1440 will stress even the most beastly cards, so didn't feel like having to go for an even higher refresh rate one.
Protip, putting the taskbar on the left/right side makes sure you don't waste a lot of pixels.
