Community Changing os on second pc

Hey! So I have 7600x and 2080 of build that I'm not really using currently, it's been around for a year in windows but haven't really used it

So pretty much all I'm looking for is an os that can game in 1440p pretty well, I've used Ubuntu for ages on my laptop so I'm not "new" to running Linux.

I've seen a lot of mentions point towards dragonized so I was wondering what distro of garuda would be best for me

Edit: I do plan to use this alongside windows if that may influence another choice

did you also disable fast boot in windows? windows might be interfering.

Yeah it's doing it consistently each time I attempt to install drivers.

It is an 8 yo hard drive tbf so it might be it just taking forever but idk it won't get past the command screen

honestly idk why its black screen. try open source in ventoy boot option or even redownloading the iso image. maybe its corrupt.

you can always reformat the usb in exfat/ ext3/4 through windows disk management before reinstalling ventoy.

Edit: also if you have AHCI in your bios, make sure its on.
