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.

    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.

      Yeah bazzite is pretty stinking good. I have it on a media/gaming computer in my living room. Great for beginners but slightly annoying for some things since it’s immutable. I’ve ran into a couple things that it wouldn’t let me do. But, that’s also why I chose it for my living room. My family can’t easily break it
