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.

If no one minds my hyjacking part of this thread.
Id also like some similar advice.
I use blender. Not heavily but have been playing on it for 20plus years.
My GPU is pretty old. 1050ti at the time nvidia was pretty much it for blender.
Im looking for a sub £300 card in the next 3 to 6 months.
Is AMD well supported by blender now. And what cards would folks recomend these days.
PS not a gamer. 0ad is about as close as i get.
Take a look at

From what I can tell NVIDIA still is much better for Blender at least points-wise. No idea if you'd notice it on normal usage ...
Yeah looks very much like nvidia is exclusive at the top even at the price I'm looking at.
The RTX4060 looks about right price vs performance. I'll spend some time looking up how well they play with linux atm. And keep an eye out for a used RTX4070 as well.
I have an AMD Cpu and a 4070 running Kinoite, installed the usual Fedora drivers via rpm-ostree and aside of some weirdness sometimes with sleep mode (I think it can't go to sleep when Vorta does a backup amd then hamgs the whole system ...) and a few crashes in Jellyfin playing HEVC videos it's super smooth
