Can someone recommend a distro that will be used exclusively for gaming?
I’ve not used Linux in like a decade and only know I dislike Ubuntu for reasons I can’t remember (pretty sure it’s apt fucking up my system related) I’m between Mint, PopOS, and Bazzite.
Last I checked, if you want to dual boot, you HAVE to install Windows first (or disconnect the linux drive before hand), otherwise it will mess with your boot partitions on all drives.
Windows is also prone to mess with boot partitions randomly long after the initial install, so be wary
If you’re earning money from the aforementioned editing, you can justify the absolute best CPU money can buy, though a 10% cheaper 9950X will match it. When it comes to gaming, it’s so far beyond any imaginable performance requirement, you legitimately might never need to buy another CPU again, and in this it is matched by the 17% cheaper 9800X3D.
If I were you, and assuming you make money from editing, I’d save the couple hundred bucks and get the 9950X (non3D) because there are very, VERY, limited real-world scenarios in which the 3D variant will outperform the non3D (gaming or otherwise)
Thanks for the warning!
I’m not trying to convince you either way, but can you point to the ‘political BS’ Proton guy said that made you flip? I use Proton and also veer hard left wherever politics are concerned, and I personally think the whole thing is way overblown. I may have missed something though, happy to hear otherwise, because in my understanding all he did was soft-endorse someone who identifies as republican at the moment
The amount of not KDE answers here surprises me. Y’all a bunch of nerds [endearing]
it’s been the first result for over a decade. If you had searched you would have found
RTX is Nvidia’s brand of gaming GPU’s. It can’t be “on AMD”
I’m not sure if I had two separate boot partitions (on separate drives), but I know for certain that windows will try to fuck with bootloaders on other drives during install and certain updates. Has happened to me enough times over the decades to realize the only safe way to keep windows away is an air-gap
