Nice build! Definitely looks like a fun system to have.
But seems like a whole lot of video horse power to be a Linux main OS...Please do let me know!
I had planned to build this (and purchased most of the parts) 3/4 years ago, hence the SM X9 board.
Back then, I was 100% Windows with zero Linux knowledge & I hadn't been contaminated by the folks here at ML
Since I still need Windows, like you, I've decided to flip the script (I read & used your laptop thread) & run W10 as a vm.I'm hoping between Korora 25/Fedora 26/Korora 26 (when available), one of them should work out.
I do plan on editing videos...my daughter plays club volleyball & I shoot her games in 4K.
What is the preferred video editing software?
Will also run plenty of vms...I need to practice & get better at using "Linux"Lightworks. But, give this thread a read. It gives a breakdown on some other really nice installs.

@BBigford Thx, will check it out.

Also, gaming inside a VM was done on Hyper-V... not KVM or from a Linux host. Maybe you'll have better luck that way. Please do let me know!
KVM and Xen can both do it via PCI passthrough. You will just need another dedicated video card (onboard motherboard card?) for the Linux graphical systems.

@BBigford Lightworks and Openshot are the two I see talked about mostly. Lightworks is supposed to be very very good, top of the line video editing software. Openshot is from what I saw, and I have used Openshot, a good basic video editor, however in Korora I had it crash on me enough that I went to Lightworks.

Yeah I was hoping for something similar to RemoteFX in Hyper-V. I haven't looked into it at all, like zero. SO for all I know there's something better a mouse click away on KVM.

I don't think anything on KVM / Xen competes with RemoteFX.

Nothing that I'm aware of. RemoteFX send to be much more vdi oriented.

Decided to run the pump for 24 hours...all good, no leaks.
Time to install o/s...been thinking...maybe I should just install Fedora 26 Beta?

Not a bad idea.

Very curious question (not to side track this thread)
How do the "folks" that own a project like Korora turn a profit?

Why would they be expected to turn a profit? Most things in life are not about money.

And don't forget the gift economy.

Hundreds of thousands of people in the software space. It's actually super common.

@scottalanmiller More power to them. I certainly appreciate all the hard work they put in!

This looks like a new addition in Fedora 26, I like it...

I just face palmed reading that first paragraph:
New features
LVM RAID support
One of the biggest features of blivet-gui 2.0 is support of LVM RAID. When adding a new LV, you can now choose RAID level for it. LVM supports the same RAID types mdraid does but you can choose different level for every logical volume so it's more flexible than using LVM on top of an mdraid.LVM still uses md raid, just like you would normally.
That said, people like their gui for all the things, why not have yet another tool to manage everything.
