I'm on the hunt for a Linux distribution that works well with my hardware: Intel i7-4790 CPU, 24GB of DDR3 RAM, Radeon RX570 8GB GPU, and an Asus H97 Pro Gamer motherboard. I've had a frustrating experience trying out a few distros—Ubuntu gave me GPU issues, Fedora with KDE couldn't run some apps I needed, and EndeavorOS was a complete letdown. I already have a complex setup with multiple OS installed, so I'm really looking for something solid that just works without any hassle!

I'm curious about the graphics problems you faced with Ubuntu and what app was giving you trouble on Fedora? Since most distros share the same core components, it sounds like there might be an underlying hardware compatibility issue rather than the distros themselves.
Have you considered CachyOS? I've heard some good things about it, especially for setups like yours!
What specific app were you trying to install that didn't work? If it was a .deb file, it could be worth figuring out what’s going on there.
I have a similar setup—i7 4790k and an RX 6600 XT running on Linux Mint, and it runs great without issues. Might be worth a shot!
To give you good recommendations, it would help if you could share why you didn't like the distros you tried. What specific GPU issues did you encounter with Ubuntu? And which app couldn't you install on Fedora? That info can really guide the suggestions!
