i posted this on linux instance, ill copy it to here too.
Hi, so I want to building a pc for a home server (?) or NAS. I dont really know whats the most appropriate term but what I intend to build is a one pc for my household. currently my requirement is one work 'pc' capable of heavy 3d modeling one light work pc. two 4k gaming tvs. (they most likely wont be used at the same time)
my knowledge of technical stuff is bretty basic so please be patient with me.
before, i used my steam deck to stream my work pc using parsec but i thought i just want to jump all in on linux and using vm to use more niche 3d softwares.
my budget is flexible as long as i dont need to use enterprise hardware. also i heard nvidia is not good for linux so i'd like to confirm if that is still the case as im thinking of using 5090 if not, i hope amd releases an equivalent capable card or if any according my quick research suggest.
as for linux, the only distro (?) i ever used is the steam deck one and i love it. im not a programmer or even remotely capable one so i'd like to avoid anything that has to be manually typing commands at terminal but im open to surface level tinkering.
thank you for your time
you can use steam app on a tv device like android tv or nvidia shield or a laptop to stream your pc even if it's not a game. Unless you want to be able to stream and use your pc at the same time or stream to multiple clients at the same time. Multiple vms or containers with gpu is tricky, pcie passthrough is possible, but you will need multiple gpus.
thank you for your input. I have tried streaming before, It not not exactly feel how i liked it, ill have to look at pcie passtrough though
You really need a wired connection if you're going to do anything remotely.
