Nobody trains on a GUI desktop though. Training is done on a cluster. And the kind of models that can be run on a consumer grade GPU… Nvidia doesn’t care about. They’re focused on selling 50k a pop cards to AI companies not fixing the Linux desktop for $600 card users.

It’s pretty clear that Linux users should buy AMD or Intel GPUs if you want to support even a semi open source world

I always recommend opensuse for ex-windows admins because it’s stable, long term version (don’t need to move to a rolling model that tends to confuse people), but most importantly YaST. It’s a big ol do everything GUI for managing the system
