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.

    Fedora Kinoite or Bazzite (which is based on Fedora Kinoite).

    Both are “immutable” which all you need to know means they are essentially impossible to meaningfully break.

    Both use the KDE interface which is very similar to Windows and very tweak-able.

    They’re very similar, but Bazzite is the one to go with if you do a lot of gaming. It’s basically the Steam Deck OS plus a little more. I’ve tested Bazzite with an Nvidia card and had no issues whatsoever and performance was nearly identical to what I was getting with Windows.

        Yeah please elaborate?

        Searching ‘bazzite development status’ on ddg barfed up This article and scrolling a bit further, saw no official or nonofficial discussion of fedoras changes (being any different for an already atomic distro??). The article is AI, and very SEO’d to be showing in the top from august last year

        (Bold not added)

        The future of the Bazzite Linux gaming distro hangs in the balance. While the inherent relationship with Fedora creates a symbiotic partnership, it also introduces significant challenges. To thrive in this dynamic environment, the Bazzite team must embrace proactive planning, foster a strong community, and implement smart mitigation strategies.

        Nobody types this shit, I won’t lie you had me worried because I’ve very much enjoyed my experience with it so far across 3 PCs. And would be verh bummed if it came to that. But ffs this is the shit just searching for development status, and I wish sifting through this garbage wasn’t a requirement now
