I'm going to be building a new computer soon for myself. (Going AMD for the first time, since intel microcode issue.)

I would say I'm an expert or advanced user, as been using pcs for 25 years and set up arch and slackware in the past. I have tried many distros and would like some feedback.

I mainly use my pc for gaming. I want something customizable, KDE ish, and without bloatware. A good wiki is a plus.

I think that i may end up with arch... is it better for gaming since it's bleeding edge and isn't steamos built off it?

Side question is distro chooser accurate?

Isn't debian a bit behind on graphic drivers?

They are, but for AMD, it won't matter much as the driver has matured by kernel 6.1

What's amd have to do with graphics drivers on debian? I'm out of the loop.

[-] tisktisk@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

I'm just fanboying for amd and an idiot. please disregard my trolling

Does amd have better or faster support for drivers then nvidia?

[-] tisktisk@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

ime yes, but only because well...there is no such thing as nvidia driver support
