I’ll look into that. Though I don’t understand the last part. Can I go grub for LMDE and Limine for CachyOS or do I have to choose one? I understand you described it in case we were going with Grub for both. Is it with Limine similar? I don’t even know if what I’m asking makes any sense. Thanks and sorry in advance haha

Noted. Thanks!!

I will install it in a new SSD.

Partition is the space an OS reserves for it’s installation and booting, I’d say. File system doesn’t sound too familiar to me. Bootloader I guess would be the system that a PC uses to boot an OS like GRUB or Limine?

I will look these terms up to see if I’m as lost as I think hahah

That’s so kind of you, thanks!

Yeah, I found those commands and all, but still don’t work for some reason. As you said, I’m pretty sure it’s an installation or VM issue. I’ll try to find out what’s happening there. Thank you!

I tried it only via terminal. I’d try it on the store but I can’t even find it. I searched for more information adapted to my absolute beginner level and didn’t find anything that helped me. I tried using pacman and yay but everytime there’s an issue with the mirrors, core or whatever other reason I can’t comprehend. I used the cmd on LMDE quite a lot more than I may have needed, but unless you want to do highly specific things, you don’t need it that much, but I could be wrong. For the moment I find apt way easier to use and more practical.

For the moment I tried endeavourOS in a VM and I can’t even get to install brave. I don’t know if it’s a VM issue, endeavourOS issue or I’m just missing something dumb. Do you know if there’s any guide for total total noobs? The windows things won’t be an issue bc I won’t boot windows, I’ll go LMDE + the “gaming” OS that I end up deciding is better for me.

I’ll try that. Maybe not with windows but with any Linux OS that can achieve the goal. Thanks!

I tried it and it made some programs (like DaVinci, which is a priority) stop working entirely. For the vast majority worked, tho.

No problem, I guessed so. It’s the only os with official DaVinci Resolve support and I heard it’s very complicated to work with, mainly if you’re a beginner like me. But in the end I haven’t actually tested it, so maybe I shouldn’t discard it that fast, we’ll see 🫡

I’ll save that RockyOS option just in case, since I would like the distro to support DaVinci and gaming at the same time. Thankss

How did you install Affinity? Was it difficult? I tried installing it in LMDE and had no luck.

I’ll do some research on ventoy and the distro hopping system you explained, although I’m not sure I’m willing to start that process, since right now what I want is finding something that just works for me without having to spend too much time on it and specially not having to make any reset and/or backups. Just dualbooting and setting the gaming and video editing set up without going crazy. Thanks anyways!

I have an Nvidia GPU and Debian’s latest Nvidia driver update is aproximately one year and a half late in comparison with Nvidia’s latest release. That’s probably the main issue and the reason Debian and LMDE (and some other non-gaming focused distros) don’t work for me (just in the gaming and video editing aspect), so I’m definitely discarding them as gaming (and related) single OS’s atm, though if I could I would run Debian as my main and single OS in my PC.

Thanks for your extense and detailed reply. I’ll have it all in mind when choosing. Thanks!

That’s what I’m also thinking atm. I’ll keep yall updated. Thank you!

That’s very helpful. I’ll totally have that in mind. Thanks!

That makes sense. I’ll have it in mind. Thank you!

Oh, didn’t think it that way. That’s comforting hahah. Thanks!
