Can Corsair One run Linux? I have heard that water cooling software for example does not have Linux support.
That usually means LED control. Water cooling itself has nothing to control, but there’s just the pump to be run at full speed at all time, and fans to cool radiators like you normally do with air coolers.

I use a corsair aio in a custom build. It's fine. It's exactly the same as using an aio on windows without installing icue (their device management software, which is pretty shit). You can't set custom fan / pump speed curves, but the defaults are fine. I'm cooling a 3950x and I've had no issues with temperature. You also can't adjust the LEDs but whatever.
40% of the revenue is from selling RAM? I assume they aren't fabbing their own chips, so are they just reselling Samsung/Hynix memory?

It's very easy indeed, but will still take hours for component research and hours for building (for a first-timer). It makes sense if you like this kind of thing. If you're not into it, buying prebuilt is a valid option.
Eh, IDK. It'll definitely take some research, to maximize everything. But there's so much uniformity these days, that you could figure out your build in an hour or two. And, if you're not going for SFF or the like, have a build complete in less than 30-45 minutes after watching a YouTube video. This isn't the 90's/00's where you had to match graphics interfaces, FSB timing, RAM sockets/timing, modular vs cabled PSUs,…
* does my motherboard m.2 slot support PCIe or SATA m.2 SSD-s?
* on AMD motherboards: will my CPU work out of the box or do I need a loaner CPU to perform a BIOS update?
* using the wrong fan header on the motherboard for your AIO water cooler
* not setting the proper XMP profile for your RAM
Those are the ones that I could think of immediately.

Have you ever built one? I'm curious how they compare to something I might build myself. They are my go-to for power supplies and memory, and of my three main keyboards and mice, two sets are Corsair (K95 RGB Platinum and Scimitar Pro) used on Linux systems with ckb-next; one is Razer (Blackwidow Chroma v1 and Ouroboros) with their in-house software on Windows for a gaming rig. I much prefer the Corsair stuff.
Guess what building a pc is not worth it. It's not worth it in frustration or anything else. It's better to buy a commercial business grade desktop with a support contract. They always have some kind of weird power issue or something. However, I might just be butthurt about my desktop that randomly reboots and was built by a friend, and I can't figure out what is wrong with it.

Are we looking at the same Corsair One that runs $2,200 in its cheapest variant? Because I built a SFF form factor PC with equivalent specs and zero exotic parts that fits in a case the size of a console (Dr Zaber case), all for under $1500. It's a bit trickier if you want to water cool it, but I'm not sure why you need to if you use an AMD CPU (much better performance/watt) and don't overclock your GPU.
Put in a 2080ti or a 1080ti for the previous gen One an a 9900K in a Dr Zaber case and water cool them I would really like to see that. You’ll need a DC-DC set up and a custom one to boot, and an external water loop. Not to mention that even building an air cooled SFF build is hard, SFF components are rare in many countries and often require you to import it yourself which adds a big premium in the form of import fee…

From the S-1: "We use DRAM ICs produced by Samsung, Micron and Hynix in our DRAM modules. We purchase those DRAM ICs, pursuant to purchase orders and not long-term supply contracts, largely from third-party distributors and, to a lesser extent, directly from those manufacturers." Edit: And "We maintain limited manufacturing facilities that only produce DRAM modules, custom built PCs, custom cooling and performance co…

SFF build will not cost you more, unless you custom watercool it. Custom watercooling is only necessary if you're going for a super optimized build. SFF cases are around $250-300, which is $150-200 more than a similar-quality ATX case. SFF CPU coolers are around the same price. SFF PSUs and motherboards have a small markup over ATX. For example, here's a build for $3600. The GPU is not watercooled, though, since you…
I didn’t know that the prebuilt market had gotten so competitive. Only a $400 premium to build, water cool, and warranty the damn thing? It’s a bargain.

I have a Corsair mouse pad that covers most of my desk. In part because the mouse pad is huge and in part because my desk is small. The mouse that sits on top of it is Corsair too. I like this mouse pad and the mouse a lot, and like you, the quality of those things that I own are the reason I clicked on this post. As for keyboard, I use a different brand (all black programmable mechanical keyboard ErgoDox EZ Shine wi…
Look up desk pads, I have one that covers the majority of my 5’x30” desk! My Corsair PSU is an old 750W and they were synonymous with accessible modular power supplies for a while. Made them last longer by design when that wasn’t a given design choice. All in one heatsink units are more popular now, but they used to be the only option in that category too.
Here is the one I have: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Gaming-Mou...
It has room for both mouse and keyboard and is plenty big enough for me :)
Also, I found out which PSU it is that I have and I didn’t need to open the case to find out after all, because it is printed on the back and visible by looking at the backside of the chassis. My computer sits on the floor a way out from the wall, so I was able to read it by taking a picture of the backside of the case by reaching my arm out from my bed.
The PSU I have is a Corsair one like I remembered. Specifically, according to the label, it is a HX650W. This one, I think: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supp...
There is a “gold certified” version of said PSU as well, but the color of the label on mine looks like the one in the link above so I think I have the “bronze certified” one.

Don't you want to control pump/fans based on load and temperature though?
