I know im not the only one, trying to get gaming on linux, but im different 😀 I am hooked on Flightgear, (the flight gear group on lemmy seems dead) but im right now playing it (still as a novice) on my Lenovo T470 with Fedora. So well its running okay, but the graphics, especially the suroundings just dosnt look like wheni see thoese vids online about flightgear. So i was wondering, and dreaming about a desktop PC, running linux, that is capable of delevering better graphics in Flightgear.i dont know anything about building a pc, but do you have a recommended setup of all hardware i schould get, and software, to get Flightgear up and running more beautyfull? Im also considdering of using steam as a gameshop. Im such a noob, that i would prefer exsact list of what hardware i schould use. Btw i would like to build my own pc, because im not a fan of thoese gamercomputers with all the colourrd light insight.

    There are a bunch of great build suggestions on the homepage of PCPartPicker. Really the only consideration if you want to use Linux is to go with AMD for your GPU (they’re usually a better value anyway).

    I wouldn’t recommend any prebuilts, they’re usually not a good value. Plus you can learn a lot about computers if you DIY and it can be helpful to diagnose in the future.

    If you choose a case without a transparent side panel and ignore RGB and glamorous components, you can get better performance.
