Question Should i use linux, or stick with windows.

[jordanbuilds1]

ive been recomended linux a couple of times, but i havent really looked into it mostly because:
1. it would require me to learn another code language (im currently using lua).
2. i would not be able to use my regular day-day apps(also a youtuber).
3. i just didnt feel like figuring that out at the time.

but seeing as linux is gaining popularity more recently and more and more cpus are loosing windows support, ive been looking into linux and are now considering it. but before i decide it i need to know a couple of things: can i use obs and possibly davinchi resolve (or another free editing software), is installation easy, and what should i do to get started? i already know i can use geforce now on chrome to play most of my games that arent supported (which is an upside), but if im unable to use obs or a free alt, that will be a huge turnoff.

Well, things in Linux will have been written in a variety of languages. Once you learn the core of one language, moving to others is usually just a syntax learning curve.

Yes, OBS is supported in Linux.

You can get Davinci Resolve working in Linux as well.

I won't say you won't run into pitfalls with Linux, but it doesn't hurt to try.

I've been running Kubuntu for the last several weeks and find it pretty usable. I haven't done anything fancy yet. I have been considering migrating my gaming PC to Linux as well, but the convenience of Windows for gaming has its advantages for now.
