My current rig is featuring an I7 10th gen and a nvidia 4070ti. Is there a distro that you recommend me to use as a linux beginner that is also good for gaming and streaming, that will work with my pc parts? Because I heard that intel and nvidia are famous for causing issues on Linux.
On the CPU side, the only Intel procs I’ve used are old enterprise gear for my homelab. No issues there.
On the GPU side, I’ve exclusively used Nvidia for… Actually I don’t remember the last time I used a non-nvidia GPU. The most common problem I’ve run into is updating my drivers and forgetting to reboot. the only other problem I’ve had is years back, I bought the latest gen card, and Nvidia hadn’t updated their official Linux drivers yet.
With your hardware, I’d expect things to work fine.
