Previous (and possibly future) title: The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Linux Workstations
Hi folks! A topic I hinted at in my "Plain Text" video after saying, "But even if you're storing large files, storage is cheap if you're smart."

We live in an incredible age, computers have never been so fast, nor storage so cheap, but it doesn't feel like it, right?
It's not you, computing has been getting worse. And the problem is LAPTOPS.
