My plan is to buy an NVMe today, install linux as a dual boot, but use linux as a daily driver, to see if it meets my needs before committing to it.

My main needs are gaming, local AI (stable diffusion and oobabooga), and browser stuff.

I have experience with Mint (recently) and Ubuntu (long ago). Any problems with my plan? Will my OS choice meet my needs?

Thanks!

    Yes. Either one of those two are probably fine. Gaming support is pretty good and straightforward on both of them, browsers are universal and great on any distro, but I couldn’t say anything about AI.

    Sometimes the Linux community emphasizes way too much on distro choice, but it’s not that important. Your general experience on one distro will probably be the same on all of them (aside from configuration, tools and DEs).
