I have heard that linux doesn’t play as nice with nvidia as others. So what type of graphics card is best for both linux and windows. And what other hardware considerations are there that I should consider when building my new PC? I machine is mainly for day to day stuff, web browsing, games, taxes…

    I know people have been investing a lot of work into getting Nvidia into a state where it Just Works, but if you don’t need any fancy Nvidia features and are starting from scratch I’d honestly just recommend getting an AMD card just so you don’t have to worry about it.

    What games are you thinking of running and what resolution/frequency monitor do you have/want?

      I play things like satisfactory, tf2, portal, doom stuff. But I am too old to play anything where reaction time really matters all that much. Like tf2 I only play mann vs machine now. My monitors are just 144hz. Nothing too fancy. Though I do have 2. And I forgot about VR. I want to get one, but I have no idea if linux supports them or how much the graphics card matters these days.
