From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have an Nvidia GPU, should I get an Intel or AMD CPU? (lemmy.world)

My old 4790k finally died, and I need to replace both the CPU & MB. I was wondering if there would be any conflict in having an AMD CPU and an Nvidia GPU.

I want to use Bazzite on it. I'm running the same distro on my main rig and I'm very happy with it.

Any suggestions?

I also think used is a pretty good option. Sure some people might need pots of performance but most people would be fine on a 10 year old CPU.

Yeah, I just recently upgraded from a first gen i7. The performance gain is substantial, but less necessary than you'd think. I'd probably have kept going with my trusty i920 a bit longer if it wasn't for lack of AVX.
