I have heard that linux doesn’t play as nice with nvidia as others. So what type of graphics card is best for both linux and windows. And what other hardware considerations are there that I should consider when building my new PC? I machine is mainly for day to day stuff, web browsing, games, taxes…
No that doesn’t keep windows from changing anything.
Just learn how to repair your bootloader how your distribution wants it done and you’ll be fine.
I’m guessing boot to a USB and run some kind of repair utility?
Some distributions have that. Some have it built into the tools like arch. For some you just boot your installation media and run only the “install bootloader” step.
About the only universal way is to boot usb, pivot-root or chroot to switch to the installed system you wanna run and do grub-install, although you need to understand a few things about your system to not make errors.
Once you pick something to stick with, go ahead and look up its process. Think of it like practicing changing a tire in the grocery store parking lot before you actually need to do it on the side of the road.
