Noooooob here: As title said - I don’t know what distro I should choose. My needs are student stuff like Libreoffice & Videoconferences but also creative things, photo-management and cutting videos. Does it matter at all? Do I have to check for every single program I use or is there a distro that is recommended?
I was planning on getting a Tuxedo with Tuxedo OS, but my neighbour recommended another “no os”-seller and now I’m not sure. I was opting for Tuxedo mainly because of the support since I’m leaving windows after many years^^

Majaro is a mistake waiting to happen for beginners, in my eyes, because my producer started with Manjaro. Debian is oxidizing (Rust implementation) APT, and Fedora has a ton of different Wayland things that seem bizzare to an old-school X11/XLibre user like myself. Mint with the Cinnamon desktop is technically mainstream, though it has X11 and Wayland support (Wayland support is a WIP), and it doesn’t use Snap like Ubuntu does.
The Winblows joke was definitely giving me a chuckle, though.
