I got some bargain basement discounts.

I got a excellent combo deal on a Gigabyte B760I AORUS Pro motherboard and Intel Core i5-13400 Raptor Lake CPU. 

I did check both components will work very well with the at least Linux Kernel version 6.1 Overall, Linux kernel 6.1 offers a range of new features and improvements that enhance the performance and security of Linux-based systems. kernel 6.1 is a long-term supported kernel. As things of right now, the end-of-life for 6.1 is December 2026, with the potential for an extension 10 years through the Civil Infrastructure Platform and its super-long-term stable (SLTS) kernel program with a projected in the life December 2033.

It's impossible for me to name every single Linux distribution. These distributions come with at least Linux 6.1.

Note: New Gnu/Linux users might feel intimidated by the choice of Linux distributions available. Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon Edge,MX-23 Libretto,Nobara Project 38, or GeckoLinux Rolling edition are the distros which I believe are a perfect fit for beginners’ distros.
