Linux over Windows (Compatibly Check)

[Rainzx¹]

I'm building a new computer and thinking about putting linux on it.
Will it be compatible with all my hardware?

It should run all my applications with wine, right?

windows and linux are software
your hardware is hardware

there are no compatibility issues
they are completely different things

[Zeblote]

hardware

The mainboard is overprized and that graphics card is utter garbage
Select a cheaper mainboard and a better graphics card!

Partition your HDD then make it boot Windows and Linux.

It's not like hardware needs functioning drivers to work or anything hunh.

Linux has come a long way driver-wise. It used to be borderline impossible to get wireless internet to work with linux now pretty much every usb wifi adapter I have works on a fresh install no driver fishing required and 2 of them even won't work on windows with the drivers manually installed.

I would stick with nVidia or AMD. I also had a bad experience with PNY before.

Bought one of their memory sticks from Best Buy and caused my computer to have problems. Probably a bad RAM module.

That card was nvidia with pny's name on it.
