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.

Most games I just click play and they run.
Ryzen 9 x3D, XFX Radeon 9700 XT, 32 GBs RAM, with some flavor of MSI mobo I am too lazy to get the box out to look at.
It took me like a year to build as I was saving for all the parts (and the everything crisis began, at the time called the RAMpocalypse). I think it was around 3K to build then including the 2TB M.2
I'm never going back.
Just want to add that this is generally not a good idea. Because by the time you finish, your earliest parts are already a year old, and chances are you could have purchased something with a better value if you just waited.
Oh believe me, it happened lmao
I wasn't suggesting it didn't.
Wow cool rig.👍😎
That's basically double up overall compared to mine. 😋
I have Ryzen 7, Radeon 6600 XT, 16 GB Ram, 1 TB SSD.
PS:
Didn't AMD change the naming scheme on the Radeon 9000 series so it's 9070? AFAIK a 9700 is technically a board dating back to 2003.
R9700 is a workstation card.

EDIT: They said XT, so you’re right they probably mean 9070.
OK I didn't know that. Pro cards used to have a W in the start of the name.
Ah well, AMD never was very good at naming schemes.
I have no idea I didnt look anything up and I'm kinda baked. Those numbers are getting so meaningless to me I'm too old.
I'm never going back>
To Linux or Windows? But why?
To windows. Linux is just a far better user experience at this point.
