I'm planning to build a new PC and need some guidance on hardware compatibility with Linux. I want to ensure that the components I choose will be supported, but I don't need a super high-end machine. My goal is to have something that I can update and use for a while. Any recommendations or resources you could share would be greatly appreciated!

Most popular hardware today is generally compatible with Linux, so you shouldn't hit any major issues. Just keep in mind what you're planning to do with your PC. If you're gaming or heavy on graphics, that could change things a bit.
Going with an AMD GPU is a solid choice for ease of use on Linux. Also, Intel network adapters tend to work well too. Just focus on those and you should be good to go.
In my experience, nearly all current hardware is compatible with Linux. For the best experience, I'd lean towards AMD graphics instead of Nvidia, as they have better driver support right now. Enjoy your build!
There's not really a major compatibility issue, but some Linux distros can struggle with Nvidia drivers, so keep that in mind. Performance can vary with newer hardware based on kernel support, so it’s worth checking which kernel version you'll be using.
