Hi everyone, it is probably a stupid question to ask, however, this is what I concluded after several years of using many Linux distributions. Since my very positive experience with an ubuntu 16.04 used on my laptop and the very stable "Debian 8" machines we used in the university, my experience with other distros was very bad on my desktop machine. In fact, I have tried the following Linux distributions: Ubuntu 17 and ubuntu 18 and also two weeks ago ubuntu 20 (all with a gnome desktop environment ). I also tried elementary OS and Opensuse Leap 15.1 on KDE PLASMA. The problem, I strongly believe, is not related to the OS itself, it is with my machine, and I failed to diagnose properly the problem but I also strongly think that it is due to my Nvidia card. I have an NVIDIA GeForce 210, which is I think one of the worst graphic cards you can have nowadays. I use a Dell OptiPlex 3020 - MT - Core i3 4130 3.40 GHz - 4 GB - 500 GB.
And these are the software that I use generally (and they failed me very often lately ... like Matlab for example ...) :
- Web Browser: Firefox
- Cloud Storage: Tresorit
- Scientific Computing Softwares: Matlab 2015a, Mathematica 12 and sometimes Julia with Jupyter
- Graphics and Video Editing Softwares :
- Synfig
- Kdenlive
- Natron
- Inkscape
- Gimp
- Blender
- Handbrake
- Audio and other software :
- VLC
- Audacity
- Deluge
- CopyQ
Does anyone have a recommendation (although I know that the specs differ from a machine to another) but I'm telling you that if I wasn't desperate I wouldn't write these lines.
Thank you !
