I’m planning on building a PC soon and, while I have done plenty of research, I’d like to hear advice from people who have experience in the area personally. It’s also just nice talking to other people in general, lol

    If you plan on doing anything with linux fuck nvidia. It’s such a PITA. Biggest regret of my build.

      Trust me, I know (I tried running Linux on my current NVDIA PC… Never again). While I plan on running Windows (mainly due to how much support it has for like. Everything) I do plan on running Linux on a laptop in the future and possibly dual booting

        I love dual booting. If I need to quickly check mails or search the web linux launches in an instant. If I need to game I dont care about longer boot time anyhow.

          Yeah, that’s why I wanna dual boot myself, except there’s some software I need on Windows that isn’t available on Linux along with games. Also, what distro(s) do you use? I’ve already picked out a few candidates for what I’ll use, but it’s nice hearing firsthand experiences

      I use Linux and my nvidia was gifted. Needless to say, I had constant issues with nvidia drivers. Until I switched my distro to Arch. It’s the only distro I stopped having issues with, aside from the other non GPU issues. But absolutely do not recommend for casual users.
