I’m building my first gaming PC and I’m really interested in using Linux instead of Windows because, let’s be honest, Windows can be pricey and I’m all about privacy. I’m planning to use AMD hardware, but I’m a bit nervous being new to this whole system. I’d love to hear your recommendations on which Linux distribution is best for a beginner like me!

Bazzite is a great choice if your main focus is gaming! Nobara and Fedora, especially the KDE version, are also solid options for good performance.
Linux Mint is always a go-to for newbies! It’s user-friendly yet powerful, so it’s perfect if you want to dip your toes into Linux without getting overwhelmed.
