Ive not had a PC or gaming PC in 15 years. I want to get back into it now.

Im fairly against windows. I’d like to try a Linux system and thought this would be a fun way to get into Linux.

Ive been looking at some black friday sales here Newegg sales

Its been so long since ive looked at PC specs I feel like im completely new. Ive read that an AMD GPU can be easier for Linux so I started there.

So Ive got two questions!

What are some must have specs in you opinion to run most modern games, and would you have a #1 recommend for a prebuilt to get started with?

What disto is best for a total newbie who wants to use it for gaming and eventually transition for anything/everything else?

    There are none. Choose the best ones to fit your budget.

    You’re Right but I think giving a baseline for „Most modern games“ would still be helpful

      Would you like to run “most modern games” at 720, 1080, 1440 or 4k? 30, 60, 90, 144, 240, or 480Hz? How about graphics? Low, Medium, High? Ray Tracing? Upscaling? Frame Generation?

      It’s just not that simple.
