My laptop is running out of storage space and I don’t have anything I can remove anymore to increase it by much, so I’m thinking about building a pc. I’d also like to find a better gpu for doing video editing.

It will be the first one I’ve built, so I don’t really know what I need. Also, does it matter for compatibility for Linux whether I go with AMD or Intel?

The high end of what I want to use it for is video editing with Kdenlive or Davinci Resolve, some modeling and animation in Blender, and some light gaming, like Minecraft or TUNIC.

I figure one of these guides might be useful, but I don’t really know which.

Is there anything else I should know for setting up a PC to run Linux?

Edit: Maybe these guides from Logical Increments can help actually.

    High use Blender users tend to avoid AMD for the reasons you point out.

    This leads to less updates due to amd users not being to interested in the community.

    It is an issuw without any practicle solution. Because as I need a long overdue update. Again nvidia seems the only real choice.

    Everyone is sorta forced to do that unless we can convince amd users to just try out blender and submit results.

    So hi any AMD users who dont care about blender.

    Give it a try and submit performance data please.
