I think i am ready to switch from windows and need advice - Lemmy.World

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.

The answer is always Mint

The answer used to be mint. Now there are quite a few distros that are stable and “just work”. I’m using cachy as a daily driver at work and haven’t had any issues at all. And it’s arch based! So much for arch being unstable

Yeah I agree, Mint used to be my recommendation (and it’s a good choice for sure) but now I say Bazzite or Kinoite (for a newbie used to Windows) because KDE Plasma is better than Windows and the immutability adds another layer of stability.
