Hello, I’m going to be getting a new computer soon and have thought about linux. Questions inside
With the new computer and the newer Microsoft Windows updates they have really jam packed their OS with bloat and spyware. That being said I have no idea what I’m doing with Linux, need help with where to start.? What are some general tips? I understand there’s a lot of prebuilt Linux distributions or something what are some first timer friendly ones? Really any help is appreciated because the biggest barrier to entry is the perceived difficulty of actually doing it.
You're viewing a single thread.
If you really plan on going full Linux, get an AMD card and use a desktop that supports the Wayland protocol (gnome or KDE)
This only discourages people from switching to linux. You are doing this community a disservice. Nvidia GPUs work just fine, you simply recommend distros like Mint that properly support it.
Once they are a linux user, they will naturally gravitate towards AMD GPUs.Since OP is getting a new computer anyway, they should be aware of this. But yes, it's also worth mentioning that Nvidia works just fine.
As long as you don't want to run Wayland anyways
But they are asking about PC components that work well with Linux...
