TigerPixel.DE proudly presents his new Linux computer named Triangulum as the constellation of the same name. It runs Fedora Linux Release 36 at the moment.

The computer name says it all. It is my home office computer for Web development, software development, and office work in general.

Although I am a huge fan of Debian Gnu/Linux, I switched to Fedora Linux because I wanted a stable Linux distribution with a Linux kernel of at least version 5.15 for a multi-monitor setup.

A point of interest is the energy efficiency in comparison to my previous computers running the Debian GNU/Linux operating system:
