No worries it’s ok

Nope, 3060 RTX and Intel i5 11th gen is not that old in my opinion. I maybe needed to be more specific but when I said we have same kind of hardware I meant that we both have Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU. Many linux nerds can obviously argue with me, that it’s linux and you can fix everything yourself. But because you’re beginner, I understand you need something that works right out of the box at least without major issues. That’s why I warned you about fedora-based distros. Of course it’s better to test everything yourself and like one other comment said it’s okay to distro-hop a lot in the beginning, just not too much otherwise it will be overwhelming. I did distro-hop in the beggining too. I just found reasonable to share my personal experience because we both have same brand of GPU and CPU. And good luck with trying out CachyOS and other distros, I hope you find right distro for yourself.

I recommend trying CachyOS. It’s easy to use and it works out of the box and offers great support for your type of hardware out of the box too. As for the use cases you need linux, it’s more about software that you run on linux and not the OS itself in most cases. Also I have same kind of hardware as you have and I’ve been experiencing major issues with fedora and fedora-based distros like Bazzite and Nobara. I’ve seen so many people there recommending those so beware!

For the beginner? Really?? You can just recommend arch too at this point.
