Noooooob here: As title said - I don't know what distro I should choose. My needs are student stuff like Libreoffice & Videoconferences but also creative things, photo-management and cutting videos. Does it matter at all? Do I have to check for every single program I use or is there a distro that is recommended?
I was planning on getting a Tuxedo with Tuxedo OS, but my neighbour recommended another "no os"-seller and now I'm not sure. I was opting for Tuxedo mainly because of the support since I'm leaving windows after many years^^

Check out ubuntu studio - https://ubuntustudio.org/
You can install all the same apps on any distro so in the end it won't matter too much which you choose as long as it's a mainstream one.
Not 100% true, especially for beginners. Source: many many apps have different install processes for different distros and sometimes don't support certain distros. I never could get virtual box running on Fedora, and I'm not a total noob. Easy as be can be getting it running on Ubuntu though.
