# My Elixir Development Setup Hey fellow alchemists! Thought I’d share my current development environment for Elixir projects. ## Hardware - **CPU** : AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D (16 cores/32 threads) with 128MB L3 cache - **RAM** : 32GB - **Display** : 34" ultrawide monitor - **Input** : Split ergonomic Tergo Sofle keyboard - **OS** : Kubuntu 24.04 ## What’s Working Well The high core count is absolutely fantastic for Elixir/BEAM’s concurrency model. Compilation is blazing fast, and I can run multiple nodes without breaking a sweat. The system handles Phoenix LiveView hot reloading instantly. The split keyboard has been a game-changer for comfort during long coding sessions, and the ultrawide monitor gives me plenty of space for having IEx, code, and documentation visible simultaneously. Kubuntu provides a clean, minimal environment that stays out of my way. Terminal-centric workflows with Neovim feel very natural here. ## Room for Improvement I’m currently using the integrated Raphael GPU, which works fine for most tasks, but I’ve noticed limitations when working with Nx/EXLA for ML experiments. If you’re doing serious work with machine learning in Elixir, a dedicated GPU would be a worthwhile addition. Would love to hear what setups others are using for Elixir development! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.elixirforum.com/t/what-is-your-dev-machine/70029)._
