The RX 580 typically launches smoothly across many systems. The drivers have improved significantly and are now quite reliable.

I'm interested in how Linux handles older games and hardware. I'm setting up a retro gaming PC on a very tight budget—currently running an Intel Q8300, GeForce 9600GT, and 8GB DDR2 RAM for under $50. It would be unrealistic to upgrade to Windows 10 now, especially since it doesn't support many older titles. My goal is to run two or more systems on this setup and switch between them as needed. What do you think?

CPU functions well, but the graphics card isn't supported. It might run for simple tasks, but likely won't work beyond that. You'll need a NVIDIA 630 or later, or a Radeon HD 7000 or newer.

Review gaming compatibility details in ProtonDB and lutris.net. The ideal distribution hinges on whether you prefer rolling or standard release, and which Desktop Environment suits you best. Do you own an nVidia or AMD graphics card? There’s no single perfect distro—only one tailored to your needs. If you’re okay with a basic setup and want low maintenance, GNOME (or a later version) works well with a nVidia board. For cutting-edge features without constant updates, Pop OS or MX Linux Advanced Hardware Support Edition are great choices. If you crave the newest software and don’t mind extra work, Manjaro is ideal. Keeping Timeshift backups with Manjaro ensures strong stability. To dive deep into Linux, explore mainline Arch and check the Arch Wiki.

I encountered an issue installing “nvidia-driver-390.” It might be a temporary problem or related to external factors. During setup, the package installation failed with an error message about new libnvidia-gl-390. I attempted to install from the POP OS shop, but I’m unsure if that will yield the expected outcome.
