From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm feeling more tired about Windows, and the reason I haven't switched yet to Linux is because I need some programs that only exist on Windows. But, at this point, I'm focusing on ditching these programs and finding alternatives for them..

Last year, I experienced Linux Mint, but, at least on my PC, it feels clunky when I need to do some little video editions and I found it more stable on Windows.

However, I'm going to try again Linux distros with a virtual box, but I'm a little """scared""" to move on again to Linux Mint since my last experience with editing videos.

I don't need an extremely powerful program to make these editions. Olive, or something like that, suits me perfectly. So, in your opinion, which distro should I try on one virtual box for my daily use for these purposes?

Making a dual boot, from your point of view, is problematic? I see so many different opinions about dual boot, but at this time, I don't know what to think.

My pc

Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2100GE with Radeon veja graphics
RAM: 8gb

Edit : ty for the replys so far, mates

A little niche, but I am really happy with solusos! It's a small distro, so software availability is the biggest issue imo. But if what you need is available it beats every other distro out there for casual desktop use!

Imo dual boot can lead to issues if you got both os on one drive. In this configuration Windows tends to mess with the Linux partitions. But I never had any issues with one os per drive.

I wouldn’t recommend editing videos using a virtual machine, the performance will probably be quite miserable.

The issue is that programs can't directly use your gpu when using a virtual machine
