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.

    Oh nice, didnt know that.

    I am not sure how well that works, as NVIDIA drivers need a karg and a blocklist of nouveau.

    ffmpeg needs to be installed mit --allowerasing

    While yes for sure flathub apps have support, you still have a preinstalled Firefox and a flatpak remote that both dont have the nonfree stuff. This is just very confusing.

    But btw Firefox RPM has support for user namespace sandboxes, allowing process isolation. So just using the official Flatpak is not a real solution.

        Yes but again, Flathub Firefox has no process isolation with user namespaces. Something not easy to understand, but it simply removes a big security layer (between browser and processes, and between processes). It also adds the security layer between browser and OS, so not that easy.

        Have a look at bubblejail, that is far away from plug and play poorly. But it allows to sandbox the browser like flatpak, but allow user namespace creation (a syscall) to also isolate processes.

        Ublue is Fedora Atomic without legal restrictions or strange decisions.

        But they also deleted their old website, so the only easily installable versions are Bluefin/Aurora (GNOME/KDE) and Bazzite. Which are also opinionated but I think in a good way.
