    I thought this was a request for Stack Overflow proof.

    Then figured that was 'proof from pasting random crap from SO".

    Then figured it’s the same thing.


    Any distro will be suitable, create yourself as the first user when installing (which will probably be added to the wheel/sudoers group or whatever) then create a new ‘standard’ user.

    Most distribution defaults should be adequate.

    For added safety, choose one that is immutable like, for example, Fedora atomic.

    The nouveau drivers are just barely enough to have a desktop, anything actually needing a GPU will perform very poorly (in my anecdotal experience with 4K). Or, to put it another way, choosing an NVIDIA card is choosing their proprietary drivers.

    So you’re left with AMD (and Intel). The open amdgpu driver is pretty good and is suitable for gaming. Which I do.

    I have no experience with Intel, but I believe their open drivers are pretty good.

    So I recommend AMD.
