If you want you can self host it according to there gitlab link.

Not really a install guide include it seems

You already got some good recommendation. I’m just giving you some tips regarding your needs.

-Can play steam games(since steam is compatible, this is mostly always checked(I think))

Steam is indeed Linux native, some games also have Linux builds. But most run through proton (this is a lot of the time still clicking install and just run). You can check protondb.com/ if your favorite games run on Linux. (Sometimes the comments recommend a fix)

-Can play other games outside steam(like from GOG where you download the setup. Heard about apps like “bottles” but idk how good it will be)

For Gog games I recommend heroic game launcher, it can manage epic and Gog games and run them with proton. (I think it also does Amazon games, but never tried)

-Video editing softwares (Resolve works but I might want to use another)

Resolve is indeed Linux native. A nice project to look at maybe is kdenlive

-Can run a CAD software(I do like designing and stuff so I do look forward for this(I have used some on windows and don’t know how its will be in linux. I know blender works but it’s more of a modeling than CAD))

I do some 3d modeling myself for 3d printing. So anything web-based works of course, like thinkercad and on shape. I got fusion 360 to run for about a month with wine before it broke. I moved to freecad it’s Linux native and very powerful. It is a other workflow then some other cad software.

-Programming(I don’t think this will be a problem)

I also don’t think this is a problem

-Microsoft like apps(Spreadsheet and stuff, Just need to be able to do work)

There are obviously options like libre office or only office. But if you really need Microsoft office for work you can try the web versions or something like winboat. Winboat runs a full install of windows 11 in a docker container. So for apps like Microsoft office or works better then wine.

-Not sure if this is needed but I do sail the seven seas sometimes

I would look into running pirated software in containers. Keep in mind proton/wine is not a container.

Al software can be installed using your distro’s “app” store. On Linux you first always check your systems software store/packages manager to download and install software. (I see new Linux users download stuff from website’s and then having problems with installing software pretty often)

I would pick something beginner friendly like pop os or bazite.

At the moment I’m using echo with the Spotify plugin together with YouTube music and deezer. So if one plugin breaks I have my playlist on another service. But Spotify breaks pretty regularly.

link to there github

At some point I just need to put my music on my media server(most I already own legally). It will be more reliable then Spotify hacks, but finding new music is just better on the service’s

And for Samsungs tizen os smart TV’s tizentube for YouTube with a pi hole for the ads in the interface.

Edit a file, writing a quick shell script or whatever in the terminal. Nano is great. I don’t see any use in learning vim or emacs. If I need something more I’m going use a gui editor anyway.

Don’t get triggered anyone it’s just my preference

I still use my PS3, enough great and cheap games and can play my PS1 and 2 games on the big screen with wireless controllers.

Newer games I play on PC anyways.

I think that in the Android kernel (for your device) there are binary blobs for hardware drivers. Which are not in mainline and most of the times not even available anywhere.

I know some Linux users trash talk Nvidia on Linux like it just a piece of shit. But it’s simply okay. Don’t get me wrong it’s not great. But it works.

But if you have a simple setup it will probably work. My SO PC has a rtx 2060 and one monitor and it works fine.

You can of course always dual boot. I still have windows for VR gaming and just in case. I do recommend a stable os with Nvidia (especially if you just starting out with Linux). Something like pop os. Don’t go with arch just for the meme.

With dual booting you can try Linux and test if it’s okay for you. If not just give the disk space back to windows. If not great keep using Linux.

When there was basically only Netflix I paid for it and almost completely stopped pirating. Now I have acces to Netflix, Disney, prime(Disney and prime by password sharing) and I again started pirating years ago.

I for sure pay €20 for one service with almost everything, no ads and decent quality. Then I again stop pirating

In my case I use a Emby server and not “free” streaming options because I can choice the quality, subtitles and on which device I want to watch. Or download it on my phone for offline watching.

All under my control without any ads.

If in the future it ever gets good support for gui’s and is stable. For sure gone try Qlab.

It’s simple the best show control software I tried yet. But for now I will be using Linux show player or borrow a MacBook.

You have specific colours depending on sun status like Lee 025 sunset red or something like Lee 764

Just use KDE connect (it’s also available on windows). Just open your file browser and select the last screenshot on your phone. (It mount your phone as removable media)

It’s all local and you don’t have to send any extra info to Microsoft as added bonus.

All this new and fancy stuff is already solved on Linux for a long time and on windows long before Microsoft “invented” it. By great free and open source projects.

I upgraded my girlfriends PC grom a i7-4770 too a Ryzen 2600 and just moved the drive without any problems.

I don’t needed to update or change anything. Only needed to select the drive in the bios.

AMD is better on Linux most of the time. Running a AMD card day one is not hassle free.

That being said if you pick a up to date distro all 7000 and 6000 series should work fine now. They are already in the kernel and mesa for a while. You may want to update you kernel and mesa sometimes to get better performance and stability.

But in my experience nvidia is fine on Linux. (I only used older cards gtx 970 and a rtx 2060) especially when you have just one monitor or all monitors on the same refresh rate. It’s not on par with windows but will work with the Nvidia drivers.

So I would say if you a simple setup Nvidia is fine and AMD is better. It all depends on the best deal you can get. If ray tracing is not that important AMD is new the best value. If you more on a budget second AMD Rx 5700 XT are pretty cheap here and there are some good deals on Nvidia 30 series cards.

As far I have read intel cards can be a pain on Linux. So I would not recommend it for now.

My dad is running xubuntu for about 6 years now. I didn’t get any questions in the last 2 years. Besides for installing a new printer.

Before that it was mostly which program he needed for something. Never a black screen anymore, malware or anything like that.
