No. No-one has ever tried installing Linux on a powerful computer. All the supercomputers run Windows - the attempt at Hackintosh didn’t take - and are having a tough time meeting the TPM criteria for Win11.
You will be the very first. The world is counting on you.
For many years I installed Fedora from scratch (almost as if my PC was a Linux container and then added a kernel setup) to be exactly as I wanted it no cruft, no bloat. I did that with other distros as well, Debian didn’t recommend SELinux.
Last year I installed it from scratch using the installer and that included SELinux. With changes in SELinux policy, I found an installed flatpak which successive iterations didn’t like SELinux or tried to operate outside it. Fixing it was easy but I didn’t do so until I understood why it was violating.
I had unknowingly subscribed to the FUD about SELinux, I doesn’t get in my way. Maybe I’m not as elite as I thought I was!
Thank-you for your eloquence and loquacious reply.
Please don’t desecrate my Linux with (what I assume is) Windows talk.
Bleugh! I need a shower!

Because I’m being rude and selfish today. It happens occasionally. My dog made me do it. Just before it ate my homework.
Shhhhhhhhh!
Ethics. Police.
In the same post.
I’m not police, but I am in the legal industry. Ethics is talked about a lot. Not seen much.
I think most phones have recording apps.
Yes; the command prefix that you’re looking for is
shutdown now ; (followed by your sudo command if you wish)
It will provide the appropriate delay before using the root command via sudo or having logged again as root (sigh)!
I have always hated ‘find’ with the non-standard options. Basic RegEx is easy to use and fd became a firm favourite from the off.
Fedora seems favourite as you’ve used it. There’s a new version due toward the end of March so you may want to hang on, to avoid legacy stuff being upgraded. Maybe they’ll remove the x11 drivers. Fedora has changed a lot but you’ll want to install the other repos first thing and there’s also a large move towards flatpak (which works very well).
There’s also the inst.sdboot install flag to avoid the legacy grub install.
I don’t find the install very easy to understand, compared to things like Debian but it’s worth the fiddle.
ArchLinux is the other alternative.
😁
Good on you.
