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

    You can try Fedora Atomic.
    There’s a project called universal-blue.org, which gives you a huge choice of available images, that all “just work”.
    I personally recommend the Silverblue version, since Gnome looks and behaves very professional. You can use KDE too if you like that more.

    Here’s a link to my post I made with more information on why you should choose an immutable distro: https://feddit.de/post/8234416

    Btw, 8 GB of RAM isn’t much for video editing. I recommend you to upgrade the RAM if you are able to.

    Edit: maybe consider installing it on a second drive if you can. Even with better hardware than yours, VMs usually feel a bit clunky.
