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’ve been using Mint for almost a year now and what few problems I’ve had have been fixed with a few easy searches and a bit of forum help. Love it! :)
👆🏻 This is what I install everywhere for others that I’d need to maintain as I can leave it for 6 months and then do an update.
For more advanced users that want to play & learn, plain vanilla Arch. You learn what the hell is in your own machine.
But, as someone else said, get a feel for different desktop environments (DE) as Linux has many whereas Windows only had 1.
