Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can anyone help me pick out a budget friendly (sub $200) graphics card?

  • Doesn't have to be current generation

  • I won't be gaming at all on the PC

  • Needs to run well on Linux

  • Must run 3 monitors

  • Biggest workout it will get is streaming security cams on one screen, full screen video on another.

  • Power supply is only 295W and I'd rather not upgrade it.

Any help is much appreciated!

RX580 is usually mentioned as high value. There are various port configurations that include 3 HDMI connections. I have no experience running it myself, but have been doing a bunch of research recently while looking at what to get for a workstation. The 580 comes up a lot.
