I’m planning to build a computer primarily for programming and want to ensure it’s upgradeable for the future. and Hardware with opensource drivers support.

      Low level programming C, rust and Machine Learning programming with Python. No need of huge graphics card.

        ML means you need a beefy GPU. That could always be a secondary addition though - add it in later as an external GPU and call it good.

        well even a raspberry pi would be enough, except for ML

        depending on what exactly in ML, and what our the sizes of datasets involved?, like i did some work, but for me 8 GiB RAM was enough, but if you want to do larger databases, you would need somewhat good GPU (essentially large matrix multipliers) with plenty of VRAM

        Low level programming C

        Could be pretty much any computer

        rust

        Need a lot of memory (8-16 GB) if you are planning on dissecting any existing projects

        Machine Learning programming with Python

        Start with colab / huggingface and get a feel for what level of hardware you need for the stuff you’re doing before you start buying stuff

        If you want just a general high quality system with upgradability etc, frame.work or System76 are supposed to be good high end providers.
