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)
Distros are like trying to find the right hat for yourself. At the end of the day, you just need to ~~poop~~ put on a hat and see how it looks.
I recommend something mainstream and kept relatively up to date since you’re trying out both Linux and a number of other open source apps at the same time.
I’d start with Manjaro, Debian, Fedora.
Be sure to try out some different desktop environments: GNOME, KDE, MATE, etc. The desktop environment you use will have a big impact on your overall experience of Linux.
Edit: I’d save pooping on a hat for when you’re comparing Windows versions.
I've been doing it wrong this whole time!
