Hey everyone! I'm considering making the switch to Linux for all my needs and would love some guidance. I do a lot of video editing and gaming, specifically with games like Path of Exile and Star Citizen. I have an ASUS Zephyrus G15 (2021 model) with a Ryzen 5800HS and a 3060 6GB graphics card, plus 32GB of RAM. So, what are the best Linux distributions that would work well for this setup?
I'm also interested in transitioning my career to DevOps and would appreciate any thoughts on that. Additionally, are there good video editing software options on Linux? I'm used to Adobe Premiere, so what's a great alternative? Finally, what can I use as offline alternatives to Excel and Word? I'm a bit unsure where to start, so any help is appreciated!

I've been using Linux Mint for over ten years now! If you're still getting used to it, I suggest dual booting or even picking up a cheap laptop to practice on. That way, you can learn without the pressure of switching everything all at once.
I switched to Linux Mint and it's been great for me! Definitely a user-friendly option if you're new to Linux.
You’ve got plenty of options! For video editing, I recommend DaVinci Resolve, it's a solid choice. For office work, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice will cover your needs for Excel and Word. If you're looking for resources to set everything up, check out a guide like this one: arslaan.studio for setting up a Linux media workstation.
I just moved to KDE a month ago and I'm loving it! I can relate to the newbie vibe—it's been an exciting journey!
