I have heard good things about nobara. I don’t mind doing a little thinkering to have things work but I also don’t want to spend hours doing recharch on how to fix things.

Edit: thanks for giving input everyone. I will try Linux mint and if it does not go well will give nobara a go instead.

Edit part two I had to boot mint in compatibility mode because I got black screen for like 15+ minutes and then I couldn’t get it to see more than one monitor and 3 hours later gave up…Just put on nobara will load mint to my laptop and try to learn more because I want to but also tryna game :) you will hear more from me

    AMD “just works” unless you dare expect hardware encoding that you explicitly picked your card based on to work properly

      Yeah, if you’re planning on doing anything fancy (e.g. RTX, FSR/DLSS, streaming w/ a specific encoding, etc), do some digging to check compatibility on Linux, you may need a newer kernel or something. If you just want a general experience (e.g. mostly playing/using apps on default settings), it’s less of a concern.

      Well, that sounds better than be unable to login because kernel unattended update breaks nvidia drivers.

        Depends, unless you wanted to record/stream in higher-than-toaster quality until a month ago

          The lucky mostly of people don’t. I personally have any issues.

            True, everything else runs great
