I always wanted to try Linux From Scratch but the only computer I have that I could try a hobby project like that on is this old Pentium 4 box and it would probably take forever. Should I do it anyway?

Archinstall may have no gui but it makes it trivial to set up the distro these days.

All I know is that the Windows bootloader is a massive bastard hog and will completely gently caress up dual boot setups. I stg I've had it overwrite GRUB and rendered my linux partition unbootable.

If discord gets screen sharing with audio working on Linux I swear I will ditch Windows forever.

Actually, if I ever need to do that can I just use a virtual machine? Virtualization is good now right? I have a relatively beefy machine.

Does amd cpu/gpus play well on linux? I'm guessing cpus do because that's a more common. Just still working on a new computer and figure current stuff will have more compatibility than my old rear end laptop for drivers.
in a toss up with building(which I've not done completely) and a system with intel/nvidia or one with both amd.
worst case I can delete windows of the laptop and run that on the new one just for gaming and linux runs everything else great on here.

AMD graphics have a good deal more support than Nvidia.
