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.
I boarded my friend on arch and he took it like a champ. Beware, it has a very steep learning curve and needs patience. But otherwise, a more pre-configured distro is better. Cachy os, endeavour, or as much as hate to say, fedora.
The more important thing is the DE. I strongly suggest Plasma (kde).
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.
Now board another friend on NixOS and break their soul :)
Don’t worry, Arch will do that over time.
