My current rig is featuring an I7 10th gen and a nvidia 4070ti. Is there a distro that you recommend me to use as a linux beginner that is also good for gaming and streaming, that will work with my pc parts? Because I heard that intel and nvidia are famous for causing issues on Linux.
Are you kidding? It’s excellent as an everyday desktop! It is basically Fedora Kinoite with a bunch of quality of life stuff for gaming.
Ahh I see. Won’t the immutability impede work? I guess that depends on the type of work. But given OP is switching from Windows for first time it’s unlikely they’ll be wanting to mess that.
yeah Bazzite is also a fine gaming + typical work option
Immutability just means the system files can’t be edited easily. Basically every time you update you’re updating the entire OS all at once. Which is a good way to keep things stable while also modern!
Unless there’s an application not available via Appimage or Flatpak (“app store”), most users will never even come up against the immutability aspect.
Yeah agreed for most people migrating from Windows should be fine.
I just had a bias since I’m just used to making my own systemd services and udev rules for my work.
