From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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
Also scribus can be extremely clunky if you need to make flyers inkscape may be easier.
I've made 60 page brochures in Scribus on several occasions without real issues.
However you have to know a bit (not necessarily a lot, but at least understand what you're doing) of typography, and using styles is absolutely essential.
It's a quirky program but it works fine.
