What Linux to use?
For booting off USB (Have Windows running internal - for now)
Ryzen 5 5500
32gb RAM
GeForce RTX 3060

Blender
Godot
GOG
Steam

Will need:
Image editing (I've been using Paint dot Net

If folk could give reasons for a choice, rather than **"Why don't you just ARCH?!?"**, that would be nice.

I am quite familiar with Windows, and prefer GUI/Mouse over CLI.

@ArmouredWizard Zorin OS is specifically designed for people switching from Windows. It’s based on Ubuntu LTS, but has a bunch of quality of life stuff on top of that, like simple nvidia driver installation and clever Wine integrations. My computer is similar to yours and it’s been my daily driver for a couple of years now.

@ArmouredWizard For image editing, the GNU Image Manipulation Program is the equivalent to Photoshop, and Pinta would I think be closer to Paint.Net. There’s also Krita for illustrators and artists.

@hedders I'll have a look at Zorin. Not a name I've heard

@ArmouredWizard it’s a smaller distro, but it’s really slick and I’ve not found a reason to move away from it.
