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.

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.

I don't think Olive is a good alternative to davinci resolve. First, nothing is good if it crashes a lot. Second, Davinci Resolve is feature rich and super powerful, while Olive is not. The closest FOSS alternative is Kdenlive, but I'd recommend finding a distro that can run Davinci itself, as Davinci does have a native Linux client for some distros.

Well, can't argue much with that. It's a shame it crashes often.. I might check kdenlive some time though.
