TBH I didn't even try it, I just did a fresh install lol.

I agree that air coolers are good enough for most cpus but I've always liked the aesthetic of AIOs better. And I don't mind spending a little more.

That's reassuring. But based off the mixed answers, I'll just do a clean install to reduce headache.

I'll just do a clean install and re do it lol.

Thanks for the info. I'll make sure to double check all that before. I have another question. If I edited fstab to add mounting hard drives on boot. Will I have to redo that when I hook my drive up to a new mobo? Or will the drive UUIDs and mount paths be the same?

Others say that I can drop my is drive into a new PC. I'll back it up and try that, if not I'll just do a fresh install.

I'm not as familiar with and GPUs but are they able to do ray tracing? The new doom game supposedly will require a ray tracing GPU and if other games follow suit, I don't want to be stuck with a card that can't do ray tracing. I do like the pricing of the and cards and nvidia is getting too pompous at this point lol.

EDIT: I looked up reviews and see the 7900 does do ray tracing but still seems to be behind nvidia. I also plan to use DLSS, how does FSR compare?

Yes I do plan on getting the super versions of whichever card I choose. I do have an AIO already but I'm planning on selling my old rig. I do prefer the look of AIOs but maybe I'll look at those air coolers.

It looks like the 7800x3d is in stock again, would the AIO still be overkill for that? My other goal is future proofing my system.

I built my system in 2019 and and everything needs upgraded. I also wanted to switch to AMD, so figured I'd just do a full build

I've been looking at doing a new pc build but wanted to wait for the new GPUs coming out. Looks like I should just my new build before prices are stupid.

Yes. I've made posts about my problems before. But I use an E drum kit to trigger vsts in a daw. It's just easier for me to use windows.

I recently made the switch to linux as well and I have it on my laptop and gaming PC. I do keep a portable install of windows on an external drive for more niche cases, such as music production which I had terrible luck with on Linux. When I booted up my laptop with the windows drive, I noticed that my keyboard backlight wasn't working. And it took me a second to realize that Windows doesn't come with basic drivers... In Linux mint, my keyboard backlight worked right away. I also wish I made the jump to Linux much earlier.

Thanks for the info.

Oh I see. That is pretty cool. Can you launch that with steam in the desktop version?

Isn't gamescope more used with handhelds?

Oh I see, that is pretty handy. It was kinda annoying and unintuitive to get mangohud running.

That's kinda what I was figuring. I've been using mint for several months now and I really like it and I've gotten it all adjusted to my preferences. I've checked out pop os, but I'm not a fan of the OS layout. It reminds me of android lol.

Is there really much of a difference in game performance between "game focused" distros and other ones like mint?

Why didn't you like mint? It's set up pretty much like windows.

I didn't realize that Intel has been changing the socket that often. That's really lame, and gives me another reason to move to AMD. And my 3070 is pretty much the max for my case and MOBO.
