Fair. But since RAM is one of the easiest parts to upgrade you don’t need to future-proof it much imo. Just add a stick when it’s cheaper

For gaming you don’t really need 16GB yet. Maybe after the next gen of consoles is out, developers might start using that much RAM. But then OP can just add a stick or two

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I did mean OP should not consider NVidia + Linux

I think the price difference would more more less reflect in the perofrmance difference for these setups. So whatever you need and can affort is the right choice. Unless you intend to install linux, then the AMD one for sure.

Because you still left the second for loop in place? You don’t need to do that a second time

there is no need for lin2, it contains the same string as line
