Ive not had a PC or gaming PC in 15 years. I want to get back into it now.
Im fairly against windows. I’d like to try a Linux system and thought this would be a fun way to get into Linux.
Ive been looking at some black friday sales here Newegg sales
Its been so long since ive looked at PC specs I feel like im completely new. Ive read that an AMD GPU can be easier for Linux so I started there.
So Ive got two questions!
What are some must have specs in you opinion to run most modern games, and would you have a #1 recommend for a prebuilt to get started with?
What disto is best for a total newbie who wants to use it for gaming and eventually transition for anything/everything else?
Most of your indies on Steam will run on anything remotely modern, even integrated graphics. AMD is easier. RAM costs more than you’d think nowadays but I would still get at minimum 16gigs. Any decent AMD video card will play most AAA’s that are on Steam at 1080p, and I find Steam doesn’t want to ever do 4k anyway, but maybe that’s a quirk of my setup. I’d also get more HDD space than you think you need, ever more games are like 200GB fully installed.
