V2700x, 16GB 3000mhz RAM, 6700xt
VI'm aware the CPU and RAM aren't as good as they should be
BYeah, 3200 or 3600 MHz are usually the go to.
VMy system used to be more balanced, but then I upgraded my GPU.
VMy RAM is rated for 3200 but has a bug with Ryzen 2000 which causes massive instability
BOuch.
VYep. Thanks Corsair.
BG.Skill for me.
EStill running Skylake E
EOr sorry. I forgot Intel's numbering and naming scheme is a bit weird. Broadwell E
VJfc, I'm so sick of people saying "Linux is so hard to set up!" I'm genuinely tempted to install bazzite, and just record my entire process of setting it up.
BThe process is automated, though.
VI know lol, that's the whole point
VIf you pick a shitass distro, you're gonna have a shitass time
VIf you don't, it'll be fine
BEven Arch is automated now.
BUnless you choose a Distro with a Learning Curve (Gentoo, Nix), you'll be fine as long as you learn the Command Line.
Karch for sure has a learning curve
Keven archinstall isn't easy
VI was reading the comments on a post on PCMR
VAnd like
VA lot of that shit would probably be hard on Arch
VBut like
VBazzite, or hell even Nobara or Garuda?
VIt's probably fine
Ti think recommending someone who wants a fairly simple gaming setup to use arch is just bound to be a terrible experience unless they're really into having a minimalist base that they have to build up and maintain, and probably keeping an eye on for any manual intervention on https://archlinux.org/
VHoesk comes to mind lol
Twas very determined to run arch for some reason yeah
Tbroke their install several times
VLiterally just because he'd heard other people say it's good
VHe didn't know jack shit about it's advantages or disadvantages
K"can I uninstall the terminal? I don't need it"
K"wtf why is my install broken AGAIN"
VKwin? More like Kwithout
VTo be fair, I have broken one install like him before
VOne
Jreminds me of the whole ltt fiasco too
Keveryone has, I broke a GPU trying to replace the firmware with a newer card's firmware thinking it'd give me DX9.0c
Jhoping when they inevitably revisit linux they look at something a bit more resilient
VLinus didn't reinstall Linux 32 times.
Kbut 20+ times in a week? OK
BEndeavour is pretty good for an Arch Distro.
VThe one thing I've broken before is trying to install GPU hooks for single GPU passthrough, because it's basically impossible lol
VNo beginner should be trying to use an arch based distro imo
Ji never had it happen to me on arch but one of my friends had her install broken after an update
BThey shouldn't.
BI kind of wish I started on Fedora.
Jinitramfs didn't regenerate after a kernel update
Kvery common, they nuked grub just recently
