Which Distro for Theatrical Use?

Hello community,

I am tired of windows slowing down my laptop, and I tought I'd give linux a chance. So I learn, that there are many linuxes, and I wonder if it really matters. which one to choose. Can all linux apps be run on all distributions? Is it just a matter of the 'app store' supporting them or not?

I am producing media art for theatre plays. So I have to rely on a stable system as well as the following tools:

  • Blender 3d
  • a DAW
  • Design Software (adobe alternatives)
  • Video Editing & compositing
  • Projection mapping (I fear, there is just mapmap under linux)
  • audio cuing (linux show player)
  • maybe also light show programming (artnet / dmx)

The machine would be a Gigabyte Aero 15x with a dedicated nvidia gfx card, and 8 gigs of ram.

What would you recommend me?
