I’m building a new controller “10ft” gaming PC for my living room. The CPU is a Ryzen 5 3600X and the motherboard is Asus ROG Strix X570-I. I have never done a Linux-based gaming PC before and I want everything to “just work” as best as possible.

I assume this means go with Bazzite and an AMD gpu? Anything else I need to be aware of? As I said the goal after configuring is for it to be entirely controller-controlled (8bitdo ultimate and DS4).

      If you’re doing 1080p the 6600 is pretty solid. Or 7600, really. It CAN do higher resolutions, but then you’d need to start doing FSR scaling or drop settings to keep things smooth/consistent.

      I had a quick view at this post : https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/157qa6c/rx_6600_or_rx_6700_xt_for_1080p/

      It seems to me that 6700xt is much stronger than 6600. More expensive, too. Personally, I would pay some extra money 6700xt, but it depends on OP’s budget and game preference.

      I’d suggest OP to consider several factors:

      1. Is the game you’re playing CPU-intensive? aka Will your 3600X be the bottleneck if you have a powerful GPU?
      2. Do you have a 4K/1440p monitor?

        I have a 1080p monitor and I’m planning on mostly playing things like minetest morrowind, jrpg’s and such. I might also try to learn blender

      Depends on the games you like. It won’t perform well at 4k, or with newer FPS titles. Most games should be playable at low-medium quality settings.
