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.

    No sorry man, it’s my british humor coming out. I needed to bait some linux users :) I’m one of those evil people who works in marketing. But thank you for the tips, I do appreciate it!

      Yet here you are, complaining about the ads in Windows. Are you sure that you can go without them? :-D

        Ahah correct! But in all seriousness, i believe ads are drastically changing right now (ai is just fuel on the flame). Good advertising is great, fun and builds community, which is the end goal in my humble opinion.

        If you force me to use/install a product without telling me why, just because “trust me bro I’m Microsoft”, you are just pathetically insecure about your product and deserve 0 users.

          Unfortunately, I think you’re a rare breed. I’ve met people in graphic design and marketing who will actually defend advertising practices in the face of the incontrovertible fact that: I don’t like it.

          We’re past the point of “you just don’t know what you want” and well into “we’re going to hold you down and shove it down your gd throat” territory.

      I knew it was a troll post.

      1. Company called Linux

      2. Only mentioned programs that work in Linux

      3. The general way of writing

      I wasn’t sure myself honestly, thought I’d check if someone else brought it up first

      I think people get super excited to share the good news that it’s not a company behind it and all the benefits that come with that
