I've not tooted much, I have been having computer problems - TUrns out I have been running windows on my super slow old hard drive (somehow) and I finally fixed it - got windows on my super fast SSD - computer is flying! However, now my computer crashes randomly, black screen - fans start screaming - the game is still running in the background - I have to reboot to get it back.

Tried everything - power is fine, Underclocked my gfx card, underclocked my system - re-installed windows, uninstalled and re-installed drivers.

I have had 3 days of this nonsense, Totally had enough..

@kreyren I can troubleshoot windows when it's not working - I am totally lost with Linux, Never has worked for me - even on my Raspberry Pi

@favus Pick the distro you like and join the relevant chatroom people will help you or you can ask me for help.

Matrix(recommended): matrix.to/#/#linux:matrix.org
IRC: web.libera.chat/#linux

For a beginner i would recommend Debian (debian.org) and i personally use GNU Guix (guix.gnu.org) if you prefer to just change a text file and get a reproduucibly working system.

If you do see dontasktoask.com it's the golden rule to get good support in linux.

In terms of matrix.org (chat protocol) you can register through chat.tchncs.de or if you prefer the discord-look then app.cinny.in
