As a gamer, I've always been a desktop guy and usually every 6-8 years build a new behemoth of a machine. My 8 year old desktop is dying at the moment. I replaced a dead CPU a year ago. I replaced dead RAM 3 months ago. And now I'm once again getting RAM errors. I guess it's my motherboard and/or power supply that's the culprit here. I'm considering my options. Either replace the next round of parts and continue to troubleshoot or go a different route altogether. It might be time to buy a powerful laptop and replace my 8 year old desktop and 8 year old former work laptop.

What laptop are you rocking? I'm considering System76.

Alright, I know a thing or two about this, but not that.

I'd recommend just building a new machine and NOT PUTTING THE MALWARE CALLED WINDOWS ON IT.

Instead, use PikaOS, Nobara Project or CachyOS, which are great desktop Linux distros for gaming. I use CachyOS as my daily driver, and apart from some minor nitpicks, I've really had no problem with Cachy.

I'm currently running Ubuntu now. I'm an on again/off again Linux user, always returning for gaming, but I don't really game anymore. I'll probably stick with Ubuntu or Pop.

Ubuntu is great. Someone is bound to show up and recommend nixos, but it simply doesn't work for my use case.

I'm curious to try VanillaOS next. Immutable sounds great in theory but I keep bouncing off when things I need just don't work in the ones I tried before.

Ubuntu with Wayland? That doesn't support NVIDIA.

Those three I recommend support NVIDIA way better than Canonical or RedHat can.
