Pretty much any distro will do, but Ubuntu-based ones tend to be easier to use due to having menus and buttons for most everything. As for apps, here are my suggestions

~3D~

Blender

~DAW~

Ardour

LMMS

Bitwig

~VIDEO EDITING~

Davinci Resolve (if on Nvidia)

Kdenlive

Olive (alpha software, be wary of crashes and save often)

~IMAGES~

GIMP

Krita

Photopea (web app)

Inkscape

Lights may be possible with OpenRGB but I haven't personally messed with these kinda of software

Any parents that suggest D&D are automatically awesome in my book

Start with something designed around a graphical interface, pretty much anything based on Ubuntu will do this (Linux Mint, Zorin, Pop!_OS, etc).

If you use Nvidia Pop!_OS has an ISO file with Nvidia drivers already installed. It isn't hard to get Nvidia drivers on other distros but the more done for you the better.

Also recommend, refind has saved my dual boot machines more times than I can count

Welcome to dual booting with Windows! Best advice I can give is try to keep Windows away from your Linux drive as it doesn't like to share. A 2nd drive for your Linux install can save a ton of headache (I went so far as to put Windows on my old PC when I upgraded).

Really hope you got one of the later variants of covid, they got weaker over time so they may not be as bad. I got it too last year despite being vaxxed and while it sucked the first few days it let up fairly quickly.

Sounds like Steam and Proton may be broken. do sudo apt purge steam and then delete all your Proton prefixes in I think its ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata (the folders will all be game ID numbers) then reinstall Steam and try again. I'm running the game with the launcher on Pop!_OS 22.04 which is Ubuntu based and have no problems. However I set in the launcher to use Vulkan instead of DirectX

"Gaming" distros, save for Steam OS as that's for a console-like device.

Pretty much every distro can play games relatively close in performance to any other distro. The only real difference is how new your GPU drivers are.

Yeah DRM content is why I'm on Firefox instead of Librewolf. I may look into hardening FF in the near future

I'm amazed I have a Pi 4 as the whole shortage/scalping started not even 2 weeks after I ordered mine.

I've been needing a 2nd one for a project for over a year now...

Mostly been trying different Cleric subclasses. Grave life etc.

So far grave has been my go to, but I've been itching to try war cleric soon...

Technically correct, THE BEST KIND OF CORRECT!
