No, he has a point.

It is tho? Nvidia-dkms and steam

It’s just to install? The package manager fixed dependencies and all - if ya wanna complain then write what’s wrong…

Here’s what I learnt the hard way… if you’re having a problem, don’t go the hard way, it’s likely something extremely simple you missed, check the gui, restart your computer, at most reinstall some packages (either through gui or cli)

I could be that jackass that says “well your first mistake was buying x when you should have bought y.” I’d be correct, but it wouldn’t be helpful to anyone actually trying to deal with this kind of problem.

I’m still “new” to linux myself, despite attempting to use it several times over the years, so I don’t have any actually useful advice. I can however say that linux mint (after getting it installed and updated and upgraded and updated again), runs flawlessly on modern AMD hardware. The package manager even has a gui!

Until now I have used Ubuntu, Mint, both Opensuses, Arch, Endeavour, Fedora, Manjaro, and Gentoo

And not a single time did I have any problem installing any of these

Also, if youre new to linux and encounter a problem, you should first consult the forum of your Distro. Those people can actually help you find out the problem youre having and Open a bug report or expand the Wiki with your edgecase and the appropiate way to solve it. But going all Heuli Heuli on everyone instead of actually submitting bug reports is the most unproduktive and childish way to solve the problem you (and probably a few more people in the future and past) have had.
