What distro for creative use switching from windows
(feddit.org)
Noooooob here: As title said - I don't know what distro I should choose. My needs are student stuff like Libreoffice & Videoconferences but also creative things, photo-management and cutting videos. Does it matter at all? Do I have to check for every single program I use or is there a distro that is recommended?
I was planning on getting a Tuxedo with Tuxedo OS, but my neighbour recommended another "no os"-seller and now I'm not sure. I was opting for Tuxedo mainly because of the support since I'm leaving windows after many years^^
(Picture shows the lilac and blueish ports that we had for mouse and keyboard back "in my days" with the words "How old are you" - "Me:" on top - just because this community semmingly requires a picture added)
A lot of the software you'll find on Linux for your requirements are available for Windows too, so you can try them out before you switch, and make sure that they work for you first.
I don't know much about video conferencing, but Libre Office is preinstalled on loads of distros. For photo management, you've got programs like Darktable and RawTherapee that work like Lightroom.
For videos, you can use OpenShot, Shotcut, and KDEnlive. They're all good for the fairly basic tasks that I do, and from what I've read on here, for more advanced stuff too :)
Thanks for the software recs ๐
