I’m planning to rebuild my gaming PC (Specs so far: Ryzen 5 7600, B650 chipset, RTX 3060, Dan Case A4).

Yet, I’m not sure which OS it will be. Important features will most probably be:

  • low latency kernel
  • decent hardware support (GPU driver should support the kernel without the need of compiling everything manually)
  • modern looks, rather than a 2003-style xfce configuration
  • still having the freedom to modify and install anything I want

    Wouldn’t you have an easier time if you swapped out the 3060 for a comparable AMD?

      I had a look on this and unfortunately, only comparable AMDs (RX 7600) exist in that size. I wish I could do an upgrade with my next card, but since I want to switch to a tiny “portable” PC case, I am limited to small GPUs. That’s why I’d like to try it first with the GPU I am currently runnning on (actually the only part I want to reuse from my current build, lol)

      Would you recommend me getting an AMD GPU? Is the driver better under Linux?

        Yes. AMDs usually work out of the box in Linux and provide the full performance a card is capable of. Even though I run Linux, I haven’t gamed for a while now. This community might be able to present their personal experience with particular models.
