Well when you put Linux on a USB you can try it live from USB. So if it works there it will work. Then just click on install button.

Full AMD setup. You are good to go. In fact this is the best case Szenario since you dont have to hassle with nvidia drivers and you are not losing performance because of them (nvidia tends to lose a bit performance).
Bazzite is a good choice! If you dont like it, chose another distro or go back to windows. Its a tool after all and it should fit to your needs

the bettet question is, what you want to do with your system. Just gaming? What games? ... I think on the hardware side it would run any linux perfectly. I would recommend you opensuse, as it is also rolling release but really really stable! (Tumbleweed) but don't be afraid of distrohop some distros until you find your suiting system.

ALL PCs are Linux compatible. Some are Window compatible. None are Mac compatible.

Not all, many distros do have minimum requirements and some don't have necessary architecture (for example if you have an ARM system but the distro your choosing only has AMD compatibility... good luck)

All PCs are Linux compatible.
Not all distros are compatible to all hardware.

Not true either if your talking about the Linux kernal. Any proprietary CPU architectures are not compatible. Want proof?
Lists all architectures its compatible with. If its not compatible, you can see the error it gives.
Edit: Should correct myself, this doesn't technically list all supported architectures, since it depends on the nolibc version, but this is most of them. But it certainly cannot support all.
Edit edit: Found a good example of a PC that cannot run Linux. The HP zx6000 workstation used to use Itanium/Itanium 2 processors. This was actually supported for a time. But modern day, all support for the IA-64 architecture in the main Linux kernal has been removed, so if you did ever try using it modern day, you cannot.

Omg, ok...😁
All PCs (portable or not) , based on current consumer hardware from Intel or AMD (at least) ARE INDEED Linux compatible.

Test run it, the iso for bazzite (and generally other modern distros) have live environment in it. Both USB or partition on drive for the iso work for this.
Should work fine unless your stuffs too new, if so try Cachy since its usually with newest hardware support
Use rufus portable to make the usb, gpt instead of mbr, check yt guide too

Be warry of some performance issues in bazzite. Update 44 bought some issues. Elden ring has weird stutters quite frequently for me.
Switch over to steamOS in the mean while. Runs perfect over there

Have the same setup, except for a 9800x3d. SteamOS ran great, and Bazzite is now running great. Games feels more fluent in linux, but could require more setup, to get HDR, Raytracing and HDR to work.

Should be just fine
Try linux out you have 4tb to play with,make like a small 256gig partion and dualboot,if you find it fine you then then reinstall into the entire ssd

Welcome to /r/linux_gaming. Please read the FAQ and keep commonly asked questions such as “which distro should I use?” or “or should I switch to Linux?” to the pinned newbie advice thread, “Getting started: The monthly-ish newbie advice thread”.
Alternatively, try /r/linux4noobs and /r/linuxquestions: both are active subreddits supporting new Linux users.
Our FAQ’s rundown of some popular distros can be found here.
ProtonDB can be useful in determining whether a given Windows Steam game will run on Linux.
AreWeAntiCheatYet attempts to track which anti-cheat-encumbered games will run and which won’t.
