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.

So, I was originally just going with Mint 22.1, but I’m getting a 9070xt and see mint is only on kernel 6.8 which doesn’t particularly support it?

Is using it still okay? Should I go with Bazzite instead? Or something else. I’m fine with a little amount of work to get shit working nice and all, I am fine with figuring out how to use the terminal if needed and all, just want something stable to play games and other shit on. Mint sounded good, but not if it won’t support my GPU.

Just switched from Mint to openSuse Tubleweeb due to a fresh 9070 xt. Had to switch to Wayland due to some weirdness with 240hz Oled. Seems like the driver for the 9070 xt may be a little bleeding edge but otherwise it's solid. Zypper seems more powerful, at a glance than apt, but that's just my impression. So far I have tried Final Fantasy XIV and Cyberpunk 2070, both work great.

Glad it's working out so far! It's been a rock solid distro for me and hopefully it's the same for you!
