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.

Yo linux team, i would love some advice.

I’m pretty mad at windows, 11 keeps getting worse and worse and I pretty done with Bill’s fetishes about bing and ai. Who knows where’s cortana right now…

Anyway, I heard about this new company called Linux and I’m open to try new stuff. I’m a simple guy and just need some basic stuff:

graphic stuff: affinity, canva, corel, gimp etc.. (no adobe anymore, please don’t ask.)
3d modelling and render: blender, rhino, cinema, keyshot
video editing: davinci
some little coding in Dart/flutter (i use VS code, I don’t know if this is good or bad)
a working file explorer (can’t believe i have to say this)
NO FUCKIN ADS
NO MF STUPID ASS DISGUSTING ADVERTISING

The tricky part is the laptop, a zenbook duo pro (i9-10/rtx2060), with double touch screens.

I tried ubuntu several years ago but since it wasn’t ready for my use i never went into different distros and their differences. Now unfortunately, ready or not, I need to switch.

Edit: the linux-company thing is just for triggering people, sorry I didn’t know it was this effective.

Sadly, still dual boot for rhino, in a VM I’m just not getting enough performance out of my aging pc.

A Linux version would be a dream come true.

I Will spit out what i think cause this threads are full of words and empty of content... Almost any Linux distro is good for starting out ... Make sure it has a nice manual and community Ubuntu, mint debian or something similar... Vs code Is a Microsoft fork of vs codium an open source app, to avoid telemetry just use vs codium... Remove adds can be done in different ways in my opinion add bloock on Firefox is a good start... File explorer are good on any Linux distro just learn how to use one ... If u have a document u should probably save it in the document folder... in your user home ...

If you have NVidia, I'd recommend Pop_OS!. The Nvidia controls in there for Optimus are the best that System76 has written.

You sound like a dick, and “Bill” is not involved anymore. That’s like yelling at Steve Jobs.

Regardless, I just switched a dozen people in my company to KDE Neon with no issues. Full hardware support. They’re all using Thinkpad, mostly the T16

I'd recommend installing kde neon. KDE is a user interface that looks a bit more like windows, it should be an easy transition. KDE Neon runs most of the latest versions, should have the best support whilst being easy to install.

Most of the software you manage should work, for those that might be problematic, you might be able to find alternatives, see alternativeto.net
