And I installed Linux. And it’s awesome.
EDIT: yes, the GPU was a bit tilted. Fixed it now!

Arch (btw), but I’m thinking of trying Endeavour because it has nice defaults that I might’ve missed in my installation.
+1 for Endeavor. Started daily driving it for about 3 months now and it's incredible.
Some of the minor tweaks I need to make really bring me back to the early days of learning PC and trouble shooting (but with actually solutions / outcomes this time and not just a brick wall at the end).
That being said nearly everything has just worked out of the box. Plus with timelapse (timeshift? I forget the name) you can basically be sure that you won't brick the system if you mess anything up.
+1 for Endeavour from me too. I came from Arch and decided Endeavour was better for me. Building your own setup in Arch is great, but so is having everything set up for me.
with that many cores you should install GENTOO LINUX
I actually considered this (I have a 7950X) but I recall someone on Gentoo's forums saying you shouldn't use them all even on the best liquid cooler. The heat from that would be a major issue.
Man I feel like a fraud in this thread. I've been using Linux for more than a decade now but I installed only Windows on the new system. I use it like an Xbox, turn it on when I play games and then go back to the laptop for everything else.
