idk how this works. Which variant is right for me and how do I make it be on my computer?
Update: I have a GeForce graphics card. Is it worth dealing with “some trouble” to have a computer without copilot?
Update: I think I have it working, thanks everyone!


I don’t need to worry about a backup, this is a new computer and I can factory reset if I need to.
Hell yeah, just try some shit.
What’s the best computer experience you remember having? Mine is writing BASIC programs on an old tandy as a little kid.
Part of the reason I’m asking for advice is because I’m not really tech-minded lol. I took a night class about basic computer hardware in high school and a single basic programming course in college that I muddled my way through somehow. I think the most I’ve actually done is tweak mods for paradox games.
You’re plenty tech minded. Probably just pick Debian or fedora and have fun till it starts pissing you off.
You need to use a computer to make a bootable usb drive you can use to install linux.

What usb are you gonna use, what computer will you use to make it into a linux install drive?
I picked up a USB drive earlier, I can just use the new computer itself to get it ready I think
Sounds like you’re all set. Good luck!
Thanks! I am investing the stick with magic Linux power now
What package did you end up going with?
Linux Mint. I only have partial RGB functionality but I can live with that
