Which Distro for Theatrical Use?
Which Distro for Theatrical Use?
Hello community,
I am tired of windows slowing down my laptop, and I tought I'd give linux a chance. So I learn, that there are many linuxes, and I wonder if it really matters. which one to choose. Can all linux apps be run on all distributions? Is it just a matter of the 'app store' supporting them or not?
I am producing media art for theatre plays. So I have to rely on a stable system as well as the following tools:
- Blender 3d
- a DAW
- Design Software (adobe alternatives)
- Video Editing & compositing
- Projection mapping (I fear, there is just mapmap under linux)
- audio cuing (linux show player)
- maybe also light show programming (artnet / dmx)
The machine would be a Gigabyte Aero 15x with a dedicated nvidia gfx card, and 8 gigs of ram.
What would you recommend me?

@StrongFox Give a try Tromjaro. User friendly and very well maintained.
I feel like this is a bad recommendation for someone coming from Windows, it's quite an opinionated distro.
Considering windows is the complete opposite of trade free I doubt a windows user would be willing to compromise convenience for a philosophy that they probably don't share.
@jdaxe It is not about trade-free. Windows is for people who barely care what is OS, and how to maintain it. Windows users want install and play. If windows user( gamer) change to linux for gaming, it something wrong with Linux marketing.
