I know im not the only one, trying to get gaming on linux, but im different 😀 I am hooked on Flightgear, (the flight gear group on lemmy seems dead) but im right now playing it (still as a novice) on my Lenovo T470 with Fedora. So well its running okay, but the graphics, especially the suroundings just dosnt look like wheni see thoese vids online about flightgear. So i was wondering, and dreaming about a desktop PC, running linux, that is capable of delevering better graphics in Flightgear.i dont know anything about building a pc, but do you have a recommended setup of all hardware i schould get, and software, to get Flightgear up and running more beautyfull? Im also considdering of using steam as a gameshop. Im such a noob, that i would prefer exsact list of what hardware i schould use. Btw i would like to build my own pc, because im not a fan of thoese gamercomputers with all the colourrd light insight.

    I’ll have to play devil’s advocate here, in that if you want to do AI and video editing, from my experience (as former editor for a YouTube channel), you’ll need an NVIDIA card. I hadn’t used an AMD card, though I’d imagine they’d be fantastic for the most part.

      I don’t understand. You say you need it, and then you say you’ve never used it. How would you know? I can confirm it’s absolutely not needed. And it will only make shit harder.

        That’s why I said that I’d imagine that AMD would be really good based upon what I’ve read and watched on them. Granted, AMD would be good, but not for AI and video editing as far as I’m aware. That is only my experience with an NVIDIA card anyway, so maybe take that for what you will.

            I was making a point, which I don’t think you see just yet. AMD and NVIDIA have their purposes, which is what I was attempting to point out.

              Their point is how do you know amd is worse for video editing/Ai when you haven’t used AMD for those things, only Nvidia.

                AMD doesn’t have the capability for AI necessarily due to CUDA requirements (though ROCm might fix some of that), and for video editing, my best educated guess has to do with graphically-intensive transitions and what not made in things like Natron (an AfterEffects alternative).
