I'm about to build my first PC, and I'm planning to be in the middle.

I don't need all the fancy shit I just want to build something (without RGB bullshit) that will last me a long time and run linux flawlessly (so AMD everything?).

I know there are sites that will help with parts/linux compatability but I lost all my bookmarks last week, and I haven't been able to find it again yet.

If anyone has advice for me or knows that site, I'm all eyes! (Would be "all ears" but this is text lol).

The site I always use to check compatibility and power draw when building is pcpartpicker.

Can't speak for Linux though

AMD has solid Linux support for most stuff, but if you want reviews of hardware from Linux systems, you can check out Phoronix. If you're hoping to game, you can also check ProtonDB for crowdsourced reviews and tips on how well specific games designed for Windows work on Linux with Steam's compatibility layer.

Thank you! No gaming for me (well, OpenMW maybe, and some emulators.)
