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.

      Can you explain why you don’t recommend GNOME? I installed Pop when I built my first PC about a month ago and I haven’t noticed anything problematic

        It’s very different from Windows, and thus harder to learn for new users. Linux Mint (which uses Cinnamon) is basically made for Windows users, it has a more familiar interface and is easier to learn how to use. My personal favorite is KDE, it is also quite similar to Windows but allows for unlimited user customization. It follows the concept “Simple by default, powerful when needed”, which in my opinion is a good representation of the entire Linux ecosystem. Pop!_OS is not the stock GNOME experience, in fact, it’s quite different. It adds some functionality and changes how GNOME works. It’s better than normal GNOME, but not perfect.
