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.
Hi. So, not all of the software you use will work on Linux (which btw isn’t a company but to put it simply a family of open source operating systems sharing a common core):
Affinity don’t offer a Linux version so you will need to try something like WINE to run the Windows versions.
Blender will defo work, not sure about the others
Davinci will work, has a Linux version
VSCode has a Linux version
File explorers work.
Ubuntu sadly is not what it was.
I’d suggest Pop_OS or Fedora- I think Fedora used to have a media oriented “Fedora Design Suite” version.
That’s one thing I find particularly neat about Fedora, it has all of these software package groups that can be either added on at install, or installed at any time, including:
3D Printing Administration Tools Audio Production Authoring and Publishing Books and Guides C Development Tools and Libraries Cloud Infrastructure Cloud Management Tools Container Management D Development Tools and Libraries Design Suite Development Tools Domain Membership Fedora Eclipse Editors Educational Software Electronic Lab Engineering and Scientific FreeIPA Server Games and Entertainment Headless Management LibreOffice MATE Applications MATE Compiz Medical Applications Milkymist Network Servers Office/Productivity Robotics RPM Development Tools Security Lab Sound and Video System Tools Text-based Internet Window ManagersDavinci doesnt just work. They are proprietary so packaging as a flatpak is near impossible, which makes bundling drivers difficult.
They require proprietary NVIDIA drivers afaik, but people also run it on AMD GPUs. No idea of Intel GPUs.
