Alright I’ll probably stick to whatever’s on my steam deck then since it ain’t broke

As for whatever new (prebuilt) PC I was gonna get I was gonna get Linux going first thing after I finish booting up the computer and speed running through the first time set up on windows (skip sign in, one drive all that)

I looked on the bazzite website and I’m assuming as long I select whatever hardware I’m using (or planning to use) I’ll get the correct version

Ooooooooo that sounds nice

I might just go from Amazon depending on hardware and price but I’m definitely gonna add this to my list

Ah nice, yeah I was thinking bazzite since it looks hard to break based on what you’ve all been saying and KDE so I have some vague sense of familiarity between windows and my steam deck

Ah that makes sense (i think)

Thanks!

Thanks for the info, I was probably gonna try bazzite with KDE first

Yeah I was probably gonna go with bazzite and it sounds like there’s some demo installer I can play around with but yeah definitely gonna break my nvidia streak (past 2 and my only gaming laptops) to finally get a proper tower with an amd gpu

So kinda standard PC prices

Oh nice, I think that makes some sense to me lol

Is there multiple versions or something?

I’m probably gonna go with bazzite first then mint if that doesn’t shake out but hey the more names I can look at the better

Oh that’s much simpler than I was expecting lol

Thanks for the info, I’ll probably get more information when I’ve actually chosen hardware and do some big brain research of my own

Thanks for the explanation

Yeah I definitely have a lot of info here, feeling a little overwhelmed but I just need time to sift through the nitty gritty and digest this

But I’m super early in the process haven’t even thought about what hardware I’m gonna get get (at least from this post I know need something AMD probably so that’s a start lol)

Also if I swap out to bazzite on my steam deck will I have to reinstall stuff like emudeck (only thing I’ve installed in desktop mode)

Thanks for the write up, based on the information from all the comments and this I might go with bazzite then but I still have to do some research

I might make a follow up post eventually with a little more specifics now that I have some vague ideas

As for the survey thing is that something I do on my current windows laptop or is it during the install process?

As for constantly restarting I always press shutdown every night before I go to bed

Yeah once I got a bit more research I was gonna get some vms and play around a bit but that’s a thing for future me

So basically look for intel when talking about WiFi

I’ll probably make a follow up post specifically for hardware once I saved up some money and decided on a distro

Ah i like that analogy, basically a lot of interchangeability with each part so you can make your perfect system that works for you
