Hello,
Basically I want to pick a distro and like most beginners I'm coming from windows. I don't want to go on a full learning process from the start but I can probably handle some level of terminal usage. I, like most people play games(or thinking about playing games and it's one of main things I'm looking into but because this isn't the only thing I'm thinking of doing and do)
So here's what I'm looking for to give a good idea,
-Can play steam games(since steam is compatible, this is mostly always checked(I think))
-Can play other games outside steam(like from GOG where you download the setup. Heard about apps like "bottles" but idk how good it will be)
-Video editing softwares (Resolve works but I might want to use another)
-Can run a CAD software(I do like designing and stuff so I do look forward for this(I have used some on windows and don't know how its will be in linux. I know blender works but it's more of a modeling than CAD))
-Programming(I don't think this will be a problem)
-Microsoft like apps(Spreadsheet and stuff, Just need to be able to do work)
-Not sure if this is needed but I do sail the seven seas sometimes
My laptop has these if details are needed for compatibility
-GTX 1050(dedicated)
-intel i7 8th gen
-Intel UHD 630(integrated)
I heard a distro called "Pop! OS" which supports Nvidia GPUs but I also wanna know how intel stuff works too(cpu and Igraphics) It will be helpful if I can get details on how much change of performance I might have(increment or decrement as my pc is pretty weak) I just need your recommended OS and a brief explanation on what to look for in the OS and what to expect on the stuff I looked into (I'll try doing my research according to your recommendations)\
Apologies if this is another "recommend me an OS" post, I do see all gaming related stuff but just doesn't see much of the things that I look for
Thank you for reading!
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought you meant you had an older GPU like mine(GTX1050).
