The worst mistake I could have possibly made with Linux... (lemmy.world)

So I chose to install Ubuntu and Ubuntu studio on top (which as I understand is just adding a bunch of apps and maybe doing some configuring). I am a musician and visual creative. I'd like to know why I made the wrong choice in distro. Hit me with it!

Why is your distro of choice better than the one I picked at random for myself?

What bottleneck am I to expect due to my non archyness?

@phonics Your distro of choice is right for you:- As long as you are still getting used to it- As long as the important things work for you- You can live with the downsides- It is your choice(My distro is Arch for my riced laptop by the way, but also Debian for servers and Garuda for gaming.)I would suggest you keep your home directory on a separate partition and maybe use etckeeper. This way you can distro hop your way when you are ready for your next hop while still being able to reverse hop.

    This is the best advice, in my opinion, keeping your data in a separate partition (or a separate drive if possible). This makes distro-hopping a breeze, since your data remains intact between distros.

    After that, jump around as much as you want until you find something you're comfortable with.
