12 hours later: I'm out of even nonsense ideas. PC is ewaste, be a year or two before I can afford a cheap one from Walmart or smth. I sometimes amaze myself, followed a straightforward installer so wrong it killed my PC. That's actual talent, really.

Least I still got the phone.

Installed Nobura so wrong it killed my windows install, isn't installed, and I can't install any os to any drive

If I get my computer back up I am learning the lesson I am too incompetent for linux

I'm an experienced user but I wanted something like this for my desktop PC for switching from windows and I'm really liking Nobara. it's got a KDE edition too. some nice out of the box GUI tools for installing GPU drivers/game compatibility tools is handy. I think it ships with game ready drivers for AMD so you'd be set in that department. can't speak on resolution stuff but I know KDE supports it and if it is a driver issue Nobara should make it go away.

Yeah sure why not - I'll grab the official and see how that theme of KDE is cause I can just swap to regular if I don't like the tweaks. Also I have a Steam deck, the idea of linux by way of GE is appealing. If Steam's wasn't locked down I'd be in favour of just using the deck's distro for desktop. I assume they have one but have had issues with that protect me from myself not letting me install things heh.

the steam deck rocks:) I think Nobara have add-ons for supporting the decks game mode stuff which is cool, might give it a go on there sometime. yeah you can install steamOS on whatever but I prefer something more libre. good luck with it and feel free to hit me up if you run into issues!
