Kubuntu is also fine, as it’s the KDE spin of Ubuntu has a lot of the non-free codecs and proprietary drivers available upon install (a very helpful thing for new users). I used it for a while, and it’s quite nice, but I wanted the latest stable kernel, so I switched to Fedora 41. I wouldn’t absolutely disregard Nvidia as they have made strides supporting Linux. Nvidia are often quite expensive, given the demand harder to source at times…AMD offerings can be less expensive and still useful in a PC build.

I agree on all points. I still don’t like nvidia for their business practices. That’s why I don’t recommend them.
Yeah, I had forgotten about their AI bullshit…As well as their scummy tactics, most of which are often written about in detail.
