Pick one that fits your bills! Usually, AMD ones have more VRAM for the same price compared to Nvidia... I use Nvidia here (Asus tuf rtx3080 with 12GB VRAM), but I'd use an AMD one without problems too, if I had one...
Just avoid Intel Arc right now!!!
PS: if you need CUDA, you'll have to use Nvidia
Well said! If you start distro hoping on each problem you have/face, you'll use none Operating System!!!
Yeah, so you're telling me you don't want the entire idea suite installed (which can be reduced by installing only the plasma version), but you are ok having 500 different Nvidia drivers, which are at least 350MB each... grats! Continue to use flatpak!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂
Old ass adwaita/libadwaita bug; happens on every distro... I'm really starting to think it is more related to libadwaita itself than to flatpak 😭
Im not a PhD on Arch, but, why are you using Flatpak to install a driver that is available at AUR??? When it comes to drivers, try to stick to your distro ones, unless you really know what you are doing!
I love how people say crap about Chinese software without even using it once... Windows IS a fucking spyware + bloatware n I bet you use it... Same way I bet you've played games that use Denuvo...
Are you running Steam with the option to pre-cache Vulkan shaders, by any chance? It usually eats a lot of CPU when you aren't playing anything on Steam, for some minutes!!!
Nah; just takes time to get used to it! Awesome tool to solve dependencies problems!
that: aptitude >>>>>>> apt-get and apt
Debian Stable (or testing) with the MATE desktop... I mean, if you wanna use AND learn a little bit of Linux!!! Debian is aways your friend, and it is super rock-solid! Avoid distros with poor documentation, and avoid Ubuntu at all costs... Ubuntu has weird bugs, just like Windows. If you don't like Debian, I'd say: pick OpenSUSE or ArchLinux...
The distro choice just depends on how much you wanna "learn" about Linux; if you wanna learn a little bit about it, and have a rock-solid distro, with a small RAM usage, I'd recommend Debian stable or testing, with the Mate desktop!
On my desktop computer (debian testing + Sid + experimental; AMD Ryzen; Nvidia GPU RTX 3080), that I use mostly for multimedia (blender) and gaming, I avoid Wayland cause I lose 10%-15% FPS on games (both native ones n using wine/proton/proton_eggroll)... so, for me, yet, Wayland ain't an option!!!
