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.

Gaming on Linux, - (lemmy.ml)

I know im not the only one, trying to get gaming on linux, but im different 😀 I am hooked on Flightgear, (the flight gear group on lemmy seems dead) but im right now playing it (still as a novice) on my Lenovo T470 with Fedora. So well its running okay, but the graphics, especially the suroundings just dosnt look like wheni see thoese vids online about flightgear. So i was wondering, and dreaming about a desktop PC, running linux, that is capable of delevering better graphics in Flightgear.i dont know anything about building a pc, but do you have a recommended setup of all hardware i schould get, and software, to get Flightgear up and running more beautyfull? Im also considdering of using steam as a gameshop. Im such a noob, that i would prefer exsact list of what hardware i schould use. Btw i would like to build my own pc, because im not a fan of thoese gamercomputers with all the colourrd light insight.

what videos are those? flightgear looks like ass without mods so maybe it's modded? also flightgear runs on a baked potato so i wouldn't worry too much.

when it comes to building a machine, you're unfortunately going to have to deal with rgb. the supply/demand situation has gotten us to the weird place where components with christmas lights on them cost less than those without.

They still make cases without side windows if you don't want to see the lights.

I just see some vids with better enviroment and such. Right now the graphics are set on low, to gdt it running smooth.

So you would recommend buying one of thoese prebuild colour pc, and just delete windows, and get some linux distro on?

not really, unless you get like a mini pc. you usually don't save much money at all on prebuilts. maybe look into refurbished or second-hand machines if your setup is very old?
