  • I wouldn’t recommend a random distro like the other user to be honest. Especially when you’re still kind of new to linux. Stick to the big ones; Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora, maybe PopOS. Its just easier to find support if you do run into issues.

    Fedora has been really stable for me, so I would recommend that personally. Nvidia drivers are easy enough to install on all of them I think.

    You might want to try running windows in a virtual machine to run Photoshop, although performance might be lacking. Using a second GPU to pass through to the VM is an option if you’re up for that







  • I would personally recommend the base distros and I am a big fan of Fedora myself. Has been rock solid for the last 4 years or so. Although you’ll have to choose a desktop environment as well. I use gnome, which imo just looks and feels really good, although it’s not as easy to customise. You can also pick KDE, which looks more like windows by default but you have so many settings it’s a bit too much imo.
    You can always change the desktop later if you really want to, so pick whatever you think you’ll like best
