Planning to switch to Linux for my next PC
-
I second this. I installed bazzite on my basement pc and am very happy with it. As a total linux noob it was easy to use. I use that pc more now than my actual gaming pc, because win 11 is just so annoying and slow.
I’d like to add one thing: Don’t use Nvidia graphics, as they don’t play nice with linux. It saves you a lot of time in the future if you build your computer with amd stuff. -
Ah good to know, any recommended parts I don’t really keep up with hardware
-
Fwiw I'm new to Linux and went with KDE and it seems totally buggy as shit. I love it though. I don't even wanna try the other desktop environments
-
I would get a 6000 series radeon gpu and a x3d ryzen cpu
-
Alright thanks! I was probably gonna make a follow up post specifally for hardware today just so I can ah more info

In Bazzite, installing software, for example, works differently than under a typical distribution.
This is true, but it's also on the whole a lot more familiar to a non-Linux user (open app store, search, download).
-
Just get an all AMD (CPU & GPU) build and flash a thumb drive with Bazzite (bazzite-deck), your PC will be very similar to your Steam Deck.
I did this, best decision ever.
-
Yeah I was looking at some AMD stuff and pretending all the tech specs make sense
-
If you want, post what you are looking at and we can help you chose.
-
You’re right, but part of the draw of Linux is that you have more control over your OS. An immutable distro makes that a lot harder to get at as compared to non-immutable.
-
Oh yeah that’s 100% what I was planning to do, I’m just talking with a few friends who actually know computer stuff so I can have a selection when I consult the Linux wizards once more
