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.

    Thanks, I’m slowing distancing myself from software that are not supported in linux or treat customers as milking cows for ai. At least in graphic design space, I feel I’m getting cornered more and more from people like adobe, microsoft or apple. I’ll check endeavourOs and def Mint!

    Sorry for the bait, I thought it was more obvious

      You can try the GIMP beta Flatpak.

      See instructions how to do this in my repo

      After adding the repo, do flatpak install --user gimp and use the gimp-beta version.

      They add tons of stuff to it like color profiles and nondestructive filters.
