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.

There are a bunch of great build suggestions on the homepage of PCPartPicker. Really the only consideration if you want to use Linux is to go with AMD for your GPU (they're usually a better value anyway).
I wouldn't recommend any prebuilts, they're usually not a good value. Plus you can learn a lot about computers if you DIY and it can be helpful to diagnose in the future.
If you choose a case without a transparent side panel and ignore RGB and glamorous components, you can get better performance.
I don't understand. You say you need it, and then you say you've never used it. How would you know? I can confirm it's absolutely not needed. And it will only make shit harder.
You're just contradicting yourself again.
Their point is how do you know amd is worse for video editing/Ai when you haven't used AMD for those things, only Nvidia.
You're correct, I don't see the point.
