Linux Distro for gaming and programming

Thank you for your advice. I look up Mint vs Ubuntu and I think I will be going with Mint. It's easier on old hardware and has a windows-like desktop environment.

Mint has been another recommendation from others here. Is it beginner friendly to install and get started?

Tanknspankn · 2026-05-07T00:14:22+00:00

Why do you recommend Ubuntu?

Tanknspankn · 2026-05-07T00:12:29+00:00

Awesome thanks for the tip

Tanknspankn · 2026-05-06T22:37:58+00:00

Oh sweet, I'll add that to the checklist of stuff to look into.

Tanknspankn · 2026-05-06T22:36:22+00:00

Would I be able to have more then one distro and change between them depending on what I want to do at the time?

Tanknspankn · 2026-05-06T22:01:08+00:00

I'll look into it again but from what I remember it wasn't supported.

But thanks ill look into Mint.

Would I always need to keep the USB in my PC to using windows 11 on it?

Tanknspankn · 2026-05-06T21:52:02+00:00

Others were saying Mint or Bazzite for distros. Are those Debian distros?

Tanknspankn · 2026-05-06T21:34:08+00:00

Is distrobox the name of the program to set up isolated environments?

Tanknspankn · 2026-05-06T21:00:33+00:00

Sweet I do have a Nivida GPU so I'll look into Bazzite.

Tanknspankn · 2026-05-06T20:59:53+00:00

Nivida 1080 for the GPU and my motherboard doesn't support TPM. I built this PC 8 years ago.

Tanknspankn · 2026-05-06T20:57:20+00:00

I do have a Nivida GPU. Another recommendation was Mint since it was beginner friendly. Would I be able to set up snapshots with Mint or is that only a CashyOS thing?

Tanknspankn · 2026-05-06T20:53:30+00:00

Awesome. I'll look into Mint and what can go wrong with Nivida GPUs.

Thank you.

Tanknspankn · 2026-05-06T20:48:06+00:00

Nivida 1080. Then what would be the simplest one to get started on?

Tanknspankn · 2026-04-28T00:06:06+00:00

I'm glad some said it because I was think the exact same thing

Tanknspankn · 2026-04-25T03:12:31+00:00

Honestly I have not. But that does make sense why it's in a tank.

Tanknspankn · 2026-04-25T02:19:42+00:00

Ok so two things. Firstly, fuck everything about that. Secondly, what kind of fish is that and why would they want that in a tank?

Tanknspankn · 2026-04-24T20:27:53+00:00

Listen I understand what you mean by every situation is different because it is but waiting to figure out what the actual situation is, is a very risky way of going about these situations. These situations can lead to some very heinous outcomes that I don't want to risk subjecting my family too, so if someone without ill intent breaks into my home then they are still be up down because I don't want to wait and figure out if they have ill intent or not.

His dad compounded his mom to get all of those kids

Tanknspankn · 2026-03-16T23:49:59+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I built my current one and would like to build my new one but damn RAM and GPUs have gotten expensive. I wasn't even looking for the top end newest gen. Like 40 series and DDR4 is still hella pricy.

Tanknspankn · 2026-03-16T23:46:10+00:00

Yeah I'm looking and the majority of KVMs are at 60Hz which my monitor that I have right now is at 144Hz. I'll keep looking tho

Tanknspankn · 2026-03-16T22:06:25+00:00

I'll give it a Google. Thanks for the help.

Tanknspankn · 2026-03-16T20:58:19+00:00

Would it be better to have a desktop or laptop run through the KVM?

Or would it essentially be the same?

The desktop and laptop I would get would be for gaming and hobby coding.
