  • When you like to tinker with the DE, e.g. customising to your liking, then there would be no way around KDE as it is imho the most customizable DE. Gnome is rock solid and its UI is very concise and coherent but also not that customizable (out of the box).

    When it comes to the Amazon and Snap Scandals, you might want to steer clear from everything that is Ubuntu based since it was Canonical who did those two things. Ubuntu based is for example Mint (unless you go Linux Mint Debian Edition which skips the ubuntu middle man) and Kubuntu.

    HDR is afaik still maturing in Wayland: https://arewewaylandyet.com/

    But Multi Screen support is not a big issue anymore.

    nVidia used to be a problem since their opensource and also proprietary drivers were quite lacking. But this was afaik remedied last year.

    Regarding the packages: yes in essence you could just install it afterwards, but there are three/four/five package formats that are only compatible with each other after some repackging has been done, one of those package formats only exists on one branch of Linux (snap), twos are universal (AppImage which is similiar to portable Apps in Windows, Flatpak) and three that are fundamental (DEB for debian based systems, RPM for IBM red hat (fedora), ZST for Arch based systems)

    With your software list, you may run into issues regarding Photoshop CS6 as it is not supported in Linux and you would need alternatives (which includes relearning workflows) e.g. Krita and GIMP (both you can already run in windows to check them out and learn a bit)

    Gaming is simple: check protondb.com to see if a given game runs in linux; steam exists, lutris exists for non-steam games.



  • The Player Core (1 and 2) are the remastered version while the Core Rulebook is the one before the OGL scandal happened.

    As a refresher WotC wanted to abolish the open game license which allowed third parties to write and publish DnD compatible stuff while using terms and languages coined in DnD. Paizo used those as well and had to rephrase everything that would infringe WotCs IP. They also optimised pf2e a bit here and there.

    So when you start new in pathfinder 2e, it would be best when you stick to the Core books (white spine): Player Core 1, Player Corel 2, GM Core, Monster Core.
