Wish me luck. I’m a little unsure if it’ll work well. I have an ancient GPU (Nvidia GTX 970) and hope it’ll be compatable.

Processor		AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core (12 CPUs) Processor 3.20 GHz
Installed RAM		32.0 GB
Graphics Card		NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4 GB) (actually 3.5GB due to hardware defect)
BaseBoard Manufacturer	ASRock
BaseBoard Product	AB350 Pro4

This system is getting old; nearly a decade here. Pretty soon I have to start thinking about upgrading. At a minimum, I should try and upgrade the video card when I can.

      The only solution I found was to install MXlinux which worked out of the box, after spending hours on arch/fedora distros. But then my friend said he ran into some bugs that I didn’t see myself like random freezing and video editor problems, so in helped him reinstall his windoze over the phone. It is the first time in 20 years that I couldn’t make Linux work properly on old hardware.
