got a great deal at an estate sale, i9-9900k, 32gb ddr4, rtx 2070 for $350.
I started with debian but unfortunately it’s an Nvidia card. the big thing I want to try with this thing is emulating bloodborne, and maybe local AI models so performance is key.
will I be fine with debian or are the packages just too old?
A good starting point is the pinned post “Understanding Linux and choosing your first Linux distro, v2.0”. In doubt, just take something like Linux Mint as a general operating system or a gaming oriented one like Bazzite.
