Nobara OS takes care of most setup. The few games that don't run on Linux yet are ones with anticheat that don't support Linux (Valorant and R6S are the biggest iirc); you'd probably get banned or something if you tried to run those on Linux right now.

Gimp is great as a photoshop substitute, but takes alot of getting used to cuz the UI is just not as good imo. Most other productivity software either support Linux already (obs, blender etc), or there are equivalent or superior alternatives (like davinci and krita instead of premiere and clip studio).

You can run Photoshop through a VM though, and actually get pretty similar performance.

Thanks for the recommendation, looks good. I guess I have one more qualm too; what's like the track record for smaller distros like this? I figure stuff like Linux mint and debian have a pretty good track record for updates; what's it like for something like Nobara? Will I be able to run it for a few years without fear of updates just stopping one day and my os just goes defunct? Thanks!
