Asked By CreativeCactus74 On

I noticed in my device manager that both an AMD Radeon graphics and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super show up. I'm a bit confused as I can't remember the specifics since my dad helped me build the PC. I'm considering switching to Linux, but I want to know if having two graphics cards will impact my choice of distro and how to manage them.

It sounds like you have an AMD CPU with integrated graphics alongside your Nvidia card. This setup is pretty common. For Linux, most distros can handle your hardware just fine; the real challenge is usually the Nvidia driver installation and ensuring your kernel is up to date, especially if you've got newer hardware.

How will that work with different distros? I've heard Nvidia cards can cause some issues.

Thanks! I guess I can just try different distros and follow some tutorials for the driver installation.
