Speaking of Linux, does oracle support Linux/390? One 3090 600J can be bought very cheap these days and
would look very nice in the living room, especially a little larger one. You can even Halon fire extinguisher
and Liebert generator to power it up in case of power failure. With Linux, it would be a perfect engine for
surfing the web and playing GNOME Tetris.
