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.

Using VS code is definitely bad. Round these here parts, you choose either the Church of Emacs or the Cult of vi… no exceptions.

video editing: davinci

Btw, there's olive editor 0.2. It's kinda unstable, but much better interface than davinci. Plus, it's open source.

Pick this guide from a 20 year Windows user. Ubuntu GNOME. Interact as less as you need with Linux "community", it gives tension, headache and stress. You will not regret it.

Unfortunately Corel, Affinity etc will be a problem, keep Windows aside for that on a secondary SSD. Use Windows with Ameliorated Project, it will make Windows saner to use.
