got a great deal at an estate sale, i9-9900k, 32gb ddr4, rtx 2070 for $350.
I started with debian but unfortunately it’s an Nvidia card. the big thing I want to try with this thing is emulating bloodborne, and maybe local AI models so performance is key.
will I be fine with debian or are the packages just too old?
Most people will recommend Linux Mint. I’d like to recommend Fedora. Fast, reliable, looks good (especially the KDE plasma version) and stays out of your way when you do things. I’ve been using linux as a daily driver for the past 8 months and Fedora has become something I’m so used to, that I really can’t see changing at all.
