Hi there, I've been struggling to find much in the way of PC builds specifically for linux. I am planning a PC build as my daily productivity computer, running ubuntu or mint.
The computer will be for general productivity, photo editing and some light video editing. I was hoping to find lists of other peoples builds for linux but there are generally ones that people have build for either gaming or super budget builds.
I just to make sure I have a list of components that are as compatible with linux as possible and I was hoping people here to make some suggestions??
I have been looking at haswell or skylarke CPU's but I obviously want to get best value for money. So any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Here's my build so far, I already have an SSD so its not included in the list below
