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.

I was gonna say, I used to render pretty sick Videos on a 1070, I think you'll be fine unless you work at Pixar.
And it's not like Blender is made for real time rendering anyways. If three seconds of video takes a day to render, that's still fine.
I rendered a 5min 4k60 video in blender / octane for a month, which suggests modern cards should easily do more chill tasks. And if you genuinely need the setup I did, you have 10x the work just taking care of modelling,particles, vfx afterfx, composition cut, ...
Either you reached that level or you didn't
