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^^
(Picture shows the lilac and blueish ports that we had for mouse and keyboard back “in my days” with the words “How old are you” - “Me:” on top - just because this community semmingly requires a picture added)
Ok since they are in germany and I am as well I hope they can get the german keyboard to work properly^^ Would you mind sharing which one u got?
Idk what “snaps” is - should I learn about it now or later?
Snaps are a software package and distribution format invented by Canonical, which is the company that makes Ubuntu. Most people here (myself included) don’t like them for a few reasons, such as the server side being closed source, and the user having less control of updates than something like Flatpak.
I got a TUXEDO Stellaris 16 - Gen7 (Intel, because they didn’t have the AMD one when I placed the order. Oh well.)
The keyboard is “ENGLISH US ISO (EN-QWERTY international)” which was the closest English option. Note that every other keyboard I’ve ever used has been ANSI instead of ISO, but in Europe I assume ISO is the standard, since the A in ANSI is “American”.
Thanks for sharing all that info! As far as I know I have an Iso Keyboard so you might be right about it being standard over here in europe. I want to have an AMD one too, but can’t decide right now what model because of decision anxiety ^^ I am looking for a desktop pc tho (at least rn, mood might change back to laptop option)
