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)

Hmm, have not heard of One before, but their webpage doesn't particularly scream at me that they test for Linux compatibility. Did your neighbor say that they use a PC from there with Linux?

I mean, there is a good chance that these do work perfectly fine with Linux. Lots of hardware has support these days and particularly desktop systems don't have a ton of problematic hardware (a.k.a. hardware which isn't found in servers, where Linux is dominant).

But if there is something that does not work, then that's pretty frustrating. So, if you are buying new hardware, I would still recommend getting something that's also sold with Linux, just to rule that possibility out...

Ja, you're right. I got all confused when I looked at that site. But as I reconsider my neighbour only said I could get a Linux Pc from them, not that he has one 🤔 Tuxedo makes a much more stable hardware&software setup impression (tho a bit expensive), I thinl I'm gonna go with that, thank for your advice
