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.
Agreed. I installed kubuntu on my desktop today and I’m super happy with it. Not snaps etc but kde plasma feels like a cross between windows 7 and 10. Like you know it’s not windows but it’s close enough where you can pick it up. I’m used to openbox so it feels very different.
I forgot to mention the I DO NOT recommend ubuntu :)) but a start is a start.
I would recommend debian or MX linux instead.
I wanted more up to date packages in the “stable” branch of updates and less kernel updates (I already have a debian laptop using testing or unstable packages). It’s fine. I’m just gonna yeet snap. I’m using it for ML and Data Science stuff for school work. I can easily explain Ubuntu to people.
