Okay so I have got plans for a second lower power machine in the works, it will be powered by a q6600 CPU, 8GB RAM (When i finally purchase it) and a 750Ti (Android Studio GPU accel and some games)
Okay so I need some advice on what to do.
So first distro, I was thinking of going Arch Linux as its the distro I am best with, I was going to go something debian but I want some slightly newer packages, I could go either Manjaro NET or Arch base.
Another idea was OpenSUSE Leap, thoughts on that for mostly a dev machine.
Again there is more like Fedora I could use, distro swapping does not bother me, I know how to use most major package managers.
Second is a DE, I am undecided on which, I was thinking Budgie (Chrome OS look-a-like) as its minimal and gets out of my way, I could also have BSPWM or i3 on the backend.
Now for drivers, as this is a Nvidia card this is where things can become difficult, constant updating frequency even on Manjaro can cause issues with the video drivers so am I better on somelike other than Arch here, I don't want to use open source drivers on a Nvidia card.
Of course then we have IDE, I will be using Android Studio mostly of course, seeing as I learn Java via Android.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
