Best Linux distro for content creators?

It looks like there are 3 types of distros:
  • Meme distros
  • Arch
  • Variants of Arch

I mean PopOS isn't bad but dunno how it would be for a "content creator". It might have DaVinci Resolve and Krita in the repos, also I don't know if OP is going to be using wine or dxvk or what sort of support it has for it outta the box. Again this is why I hate the "Plz gib distro rec" threads because I don't really know what the fuck you want to do or how fucking retarded you are. Like are you able to follow a wiki? Do you shit your pants when you see a command line? Linux isn't for retards and thats sorta a good thing.
 
Zorin allows you to run bangblows apps so I would go with that if you need to run adobe stuff for a living, tho idk how stable it is for professional use and if its dependable enough to not shit the bed right before a deadline.

How much power do you need?

Disregard everything this nigger has said.
One recommends a meme distro
Two thinks arch is for fatties and trannies
Three I installed PopOS on my old computer for my technology illiterate mother and she didn't manage to fuck it up and worked fine for her needs till she bought a chromebook

PopOS is a meme distro if the LTT moment is anything to go by. How did the maintainers fuck up that bad? My point stands.
 
Most people should just use Debian stable, Ubuntu, or Linux Mint. The people who need a rolling-release model and the latest packages are devs for the most part.

PopOS isn't a meme, LTT is just the blackest retard gorilla nigger. It - like Ubuntu and Mint - is a Debian-derivative meant as baby's first Linux. If you can't use PopOS you might be illiterate.
Isn't Manjaro a bit infamous for being mismanaged?
This sort of thing is probably what you're referring to. The most egregious example is when they failed to renew their SSL certs and suggested rolling back the system time as a workaround.

The only reason I suggested a rolling release is because of "content creator" and those programs tend to be updated frequently along with the libraries and dunno how debian based systems handle that plus dunno how mint handles proprietary drivers these days cause IIRC they used to be a little retarded but if you guys have used it recently and know better please put in your input.
 
At the end of day it doesn't matter, just pick something that you enjoy using. With reasonably recent packages.

Reasonable picks in my opinion are: Mint, PopOS, Ubuntu. People don't often mention OpenSUSE. but that motherfucker has pretty extensive GUI control panel a la Windows 7 (YAST).

If you don't mind tinkering then I'd say Arch, it has up to date packages and AUR for every package imaginable. Just be ready to rollback someday.

Most important lesson I learned over the years of Linux usage, if shit breaks don't reinstall, it will teach you nothing. Try to get to the bottom of it and fix it.

Manjaro, they allowed their certs to expire more than once, you can automate renewal ffs.
Here's somebody sperging about Manjaro: https://manjarno.pages.dev/
Personally I used it for about two years, before following guide from now deceased youtuber midfingr and jumping ship to Arch.
