I use a Skull Canyon as my daily driver for programming and honestly I wouldn't have selected another machine.

Me too. Been waiting years for them to release a similarly performant model in the same form factor.
I waisted for the successor to skull canyon so long I just bought a Lenovo lol.
They brought out the Serpent/Raptor Canyon recently and they're awesome bits of kit.
Nice, I'll check it out. Know some folks who swore by it for their development desktop machine, even if they didn't develop much, they'd just remote into it from the macbook as needed.
fwiw, I'm OP. I use it with 32GiB of RAM and a 1TB M.2 and it's been fantastic for day to day development on two HiDPI screens. The Vega-M graphics card mine came with is also on mainline Linux in terms of driver support.
