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?

What part dont you agree with? I guess it can be more difficult for some people and depending on the documentation provided by the part manufacturers, it can be longer. I generally think PC building is easy.

A lot of people think things are “easy” when they’ve been doing them their whole lives. The average person is going to take a lot longer than 2 hours, and may very well break something along the way.

Understandable.
