# herbyeos

## What it is

herbyeos is Travis's primary local **dev tower** — an EndeavourOS (Arch-based, rolling-release) workstation with an i7, 128 GB RAM, and an RTX 3080 Ti. It's the heavy-iron rig for GPU and fast-iteration work, distinct from [[Wiki/Dev/herbydev|herbydev]] (the Proxmox dev *VM*). When a project says "on the tower" — Jupyter ML drills, DaVinci Resolve, local model experiments — it means herbyeos.

## Current state

Active workstation. Recent/known uses:
- **DaVinci Resolve Studio 20.3.3** installed via the sheridans GitHub PKGBUILD (bundled-libs approach, chosen for resilience across `pacman -Syu` rolling updates) rather than the AUR package
- **ML/AI drills** — the planned `ml-drills-curriculum` runs Python + Jupyter here for fast iteration on the RTX 3080
- Rolling-release means the standing gotcha is post-update library drift (e.g., Resolve's glib/pango conflicts → `LD_PRELOAD` workaround)

## Where it lives

- Physical tower on Travis's desk (EndeavourOS); GPU: RTX 3080 Ti
- Not a Proxmox guest — bare-metal workstation
