Ah that makes sense (i think)

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?

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

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

Yeah someone mint really holds your hand, which is kinda what I’m looking for so I’ll probably just stick to something basic

Thanks for the info good to see another point for point mint haha. But I was gonna get a prebuilt rather than build my own

But some other comments and my own y point towards getting a Pre-built with an AMD, as for the WiFi thing is there anything in specific I should be looking for while shopping

Yeah I’ve peeked into some Linux threads from time to time to see if I can even understand what’s happening (spoiler alert: I could not) and I’ve gotten the impression Arch is great for tinkering and experimenting and tweaking which is great, just not the entry point I want lol

As for you android analogy I’m locked on iPhone since I’m not the one paying the phone bill lol

As for the rest of the stuff I feel like that’s gonna make more sense once I actually use Linux cus I see the concept of ideas here lol

Ah well windows XP is before my time so I think I’ll look at mint and bazzite for now but at least you gave me another name to look into. The more the merrier!

Sorry but what’s a flat pack? Is that like an installer?

Yeah I think makes sense thanks!

Basically Linux mint or bazzite is the system and how it’s organized while plasma is how I’m seeing that system represented and interacting with it in other words?

So I think another comment talked about this but I’m having a brain fart so mint or bazzite (the distro) is like the os but how does plasma the desktop environment fit in?

Yeah a few other comments were talking about the installation process but I just run windows like normal on the new PC then run the Linux installer
