Hi. So, not all of the software you use will work on Linux (which btw isn’t a company but to put it simply a family of open source operating systems sharing a common core):
Affinity don’t offer a Linux version so you will need to try something like WINE to run the Windows versions.
Blender will defo work, not sure about the others
Davinci will work, has a Linux version
VSCode has a Linux version
File explorers work.
Ubuntu sadly is not what it was.
I’d suggest Pop_OS or Fedora- I think Fedora used to have a media oriented “Fedora Design Suite” version.
I think the only answer is “Doom”
I am hosting stuff on OVH at the moment. Entry level package is around £1 / mo in the first year.
Why past tense? These remain far more useful than answer phones; or visual voicemail with AI transcription, or whatever. All the info you need, right there. The more I pay for digital services the more I am learning to appreciate how effective these are. Basically we are spending a fortune in development to replicate exactly these.
Now you put it that way… 😃
That’s pretty cool, I didn’t know!
That’s great, I had no idea!

Slightly wondering whether this is a roundabout way of creating Ad-Free YouTube playback capabilities. “Hey community, we are adding support for ad enabled streams. Would be a shame if you hated that so much you wrote some ad blocking plugins.”
Battery replacement will also boost your CPU performance, it’s worth spending a bit of money on it.
Running PopOS on a 2012 Macbook Air and Fedora on a 2015 Macbook Pro.
Potential common pitfall used to be having to add the Broadcom wifi drivers separately - I had to add them manually for PopOS but Fedora worked out of the box. Honestly PopOS + Wayland totally saved the old little Air and it’s a fantastic machine to use.
You may have to start using some free third-party tools for built-in features that work on the Mac.
I replaced iCloud keychain with BitWarden for password management. You can use Beeper for iMessage - it’s one of the few things to actually support it. iCloud Drive can be accessed via rclone I think but it might be terminal only - mind if you can get it to work via terminal then you can mount it as a folder. You can use Cider as an Apple Music client. I haven’t yet looked into Calendar and Contacts sync with iCloud but you can always export those and import in your software of choice on Linux.
Belgian Shepherd - Staffordshire Terrier cross would be my guess.
