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.

Whats a good distro for an amd cpu, nvidia gpu and dual monitors 4k and 1080p. I am not a new computer user but since Windows 11 is adding ai I am done. I prefer effortless because I am new to linux but I can do some advanced things if I need.

Edit: I finally decided PopOS if anybody is interested for Nvidia support. Until I get better with commandline.

EndeavorOS. It’s based on arch which has great nvidia driver packages and the arch wiki is amazing.

You can install pamac for a GUI for the package manager. Do yay to search for any package and install it; do yay (nothing else) to upgrade everything, and yay -Rcns to remove stuff and all their unused dependencies. I also recommend chaoticAUR

For the DE I recommend MATE but you can select any of the major ones in the installer

Get synapse for a spotlight-like search; it uses the alt+space keybind by default
