I'm wondering if the best approach to going full Linux would be to copy-paste somebodies' benchmark because surely if I get a brand new purpose built PC with all the right components? I bring this up because I remember how when I was messing around with Linux mint awhile back and I had very little time the damn wireless adaptor I had wouldn't even get detected.
The steam deck would potentially be the next best thing I suppose and have a different Linux distro installed on that. Going to have to have a think about it and I'm making this thread because I wonder if there have been people who have done proper experiments on this because I do think the hardware lottery is real with Linux.
There kinda is. I've mentioned this before but I've had issues with my AMD card, I even bought a new one, was probably the Motherboard+CPU that caused issues alongside the card. I never fixed it and jumped to Nvidia which has its own tiny bit of problems but is overall a lot better running for me at least.
