I would also recommend looking into Endeavour OS. It is similar to Manjaro but closer to vanilla Arch. I have tried Manjaro a handful of times and I always seem to have issues with it. One install flat out broke after a few weeks and a simple system update. But your mileage may vary, I have heard of plenty of people singing Manjaro's praises, but I am not one of them. Pretty much everything here should be the same for Endeavour, so just keep that in mind if you have issues with your Manjaro install.

@@johntera4958 Were you also using Manjaro? I have been running vanilla Arch for several years now, and any issues I have had have been self imposed, and quickly repairable. I really do like Arch, but I dislike how long it takes to install from scratch. Probably part of why I am still running it. If I ever wanted to go back it would take me days to restore my system. But I have tried Endeavour OS on my old Alienware Alpha/Steam Machine, and it is running like a champ. I have been installing stuff from the AUR, running updates more frequently than I do on my main system, and it's been fine. That is why I recommend it at this point. I started with Manjaro and it only survived an update or two, then broke. I have been using Linux full-time for 7+ years now, and I have been through most of the Ubuntu derivatives, and I do like Mint the best on that side. I haven't tried Fedora, but I might one day. But when I hit Arch, it just resonated with me. And I have really liked the rolling release with current features. Sure I get cut some times, as you do on the bleeding edge, but on the whole, I have enjoyed it. So I would recommend at least trying Endeavour.

Piggy backing on your comment for hopefully some visibilty. If you buy an i3 or i5 (4xxx) in your system, you can buy an E3 1230 v3 or E3 1231 v3 much much cheaper than the i7 and they're virtually identical. You can pretty much sell the i5 for the price of that Xeon. The only "problem" is that it doesn't have integrated graphics, which you don't need with the RX480 anyway. So if you're struggling to find an i7 system for as cheap as ETA Prime, give that a go.

Definitely worth looking at the 4770 machines, especially if the price difference is big enough. The 4770 is 3.4GHz base and 3.9 Turbo, while the 4790 is 3.6 base and 4.0 turbo, so not a huge difference. I believe everything else is the same. So people have a nice option when it comes to getting an i7 Optiplex.

As for the GPU -- try looking for a RX 5500 4gb (Non-XT OEM card). It's the same price on ebay, newer architecture, and performs better than the 480/580. Another great option for the Nvidia side is the 1650 super. I did a test on 6 different budget $200 gpus on linux and those were the two top contenders.

Ahh thanks! I have been prepping to move from windows10 to linux (Garuda). But your recommended app should work for it also since its Arch based also.

Done the same with an i7-4790K, GTX 1050, and 24 GB of RAM. Decent for lite gaming and work.

I ran Manjaro for awhile but gave up on it as for some reason on my system I couldn't get certain games and launchers to work in Lutris and couldn't get them to work in ANY Arch based distro so distro hopped for awhile til I landed on Opensuse Tumbleweed and got to say I love it and everything that should work works. TBH Tumbleweed is the one distro thats the most like Arch thanks to their OBS (Open Build Service) as it pretty much acts as the AUR does in all Arch based distros, can find all the same software there thats in the AUR but difference is they are binaries so no compiling unless you build your own OBS repo like I do

I built a $300 gaming PC for my daughter like this- city surplus tower with a 3rd-gen i5 and a Windows license, added in a 960 and some RAM I scored from work for cheap, a WD Blue SSD, boom perfect Roblox / Minecraft machine. Been running strong for 2 years now. Best money spent ever.

that computer will not be able to play any modern games, what you've bought is called ewaste junk and if you cannot afford a proper 2022 gaming pc then you are spending money you do not have. There is no reason why you could not of spent $1000 at the bear minimum and build a proper computer excluding a gpu just build it with an APU amd CPU, really you should be able to budget $1500-$2000 for a gaming computer, if you can't then you are broke and you need to fix your financial issues first

BTW you can get some extra fps in games that dont have fsr built in with some launch commands that proton can read to enable fsr on all your steam games.

You forget to install gamemode, gamescope & proton glorious egg roll. That three programs help a lot with performance

Glad to see Linux gaming still picking up steam continuously. Its still not there yet to beat Windows but progress is definitely faster than its ever been.

Thanks so much for the videos related to gaming specific requirements for Linux builds. I'm a long time Linux user but not a gamer, so I keep an eye out for 'gotchas'. BTW I'm with most posters here in that I avoid Nvidia like the plague - binary blob drivers only make for hell with non-gaming apps. BTW low cost 'new part' PC builds are back - an Intel Pentium G7400 and an H610 m/b will be fine for many low end needs.

That's the same optiplex i use minus the 4gb of extra ram and the gpu. I would like to see how it handles emulation.

Great to see more Linux content, Proton really seems to be a ... gamechanger : -)

Considering how iffy wine USED to be, it is quite literally a game changer. I switched to Linux full time in 1997 and got rid of my dual boot the day wine released the version with Diablo 2 support (so late 2000). I always had to check the wine appdb for support prior to purchasing a title that didn't have Icculus doing a port. Now I really don't have to, although a protondb check isn't a bad idea.

Lots of distros to choose from can make getting into Linux gaming daunting for many just go with any popular easy to use distro on an up to date release and it should work fine You might end up liking a specific distro eventually, but that happens naturally, don't overthink it

I got a free 7010 recently I want to do this with. Third gen i7 but not bad. Ideally the 4th gen is what you want. I was running on one up until last year. Still solid for today.

the power supply is utter crap do not use that psu, get a proper power supply and get a better ssd, the one he is using does not have DRAM on it, DRAM is a must so your entire computer does not just get entirely hogged installing a single windows update or any other download, it is an utter joke of a ssd, this build is ewaste junk, buy a modern computer have a budget of at least $1000 excluding a video card and you will be better off for it.

I would consider trying to find something like an hpz400 I've got one that's a six chord 12 gigs of RAM multiple hard drives and an SSD. Bonuses over this for probably $100 more. It came with a Wi-Fi card takes a standard power supply, and it's from 2018.

The funny thing is i have set up my Linux gaming machine quite similar ... OK it has a bit better hardware with an R5 3600, 16GB 3000 RAM and Radeon Vega 64, but i also use Manjaro KDE, Steam Proton and Mangohud+Goverlay if i want to test performance :).
