I think nowadays 8GB of RAM doesn’t really make the cut anymore depending on the workload, but you should keep in mind that upgrading a CPU will most likely force you to upgrade your motherboard as well, since by that time there will be newer CPUs that your motherboard won’t support. Upgrading RAM in the future will be less expensive as you can just use new RAM sticks alongside the ones you already have though it will probably affect performance if they are mismatched.

I think that having a fast CPU now will definitely be better on the long run, but that’s just my opinion. There are probably other comrades more knowledgeable than me.

No way! 😱

I’ll take a look at these distros, though I’m not really too much of a beginner anymore.

I actually come from Debian, but I hopped distros in hopes of finding an even better distro.

Not sure why so many downvotes, maybe because of the AI thing or changing rainbow flag to Russian one? Either way I don’t think there were bad intentions :/

That is correct

thank you for your service

I personally have 2 Linux distros alongside Windows in my computer, I suggest you don’t remove Windows just yet since you probably will need it until you have everything set up on Linux, and there are some programs and games that will only run on Windows.

If / when you install Linux on your PC, I think it would be a good idea to look into how to make a dedicated /home partition (/home is the folder where all the user folders are) so if you want to try another distro you can still access the stuff your user had in the distro you were using before.

Though making a dedicated /home partition is not very straightforward if you’ve never done it before. However I’m sure if you ask around here people will help you.

Perhaps it would be cool to make a masterpost on this community explaining some basic stuff about Linux. I could probably do it but I would need help from more experienced Linux users to proofread the stuff I put there, as I don’t want to post misinformation.

I don’t know of any clips unfortunately 😔

Yeah, the only one I know is Futakuchi Mana, a Maoist I think.
