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.

I'm feeling more tired about Windows, and the reason I haven't switched yet to Linux is because I need some programs that only exist on Windows. But, at this point, I'm focusing on ditching these programs and finding alternatives for them..

Last year, I experienced Linux Mint, but, at least on my PC, it feels clunky when I need to do some little video editions and I found it more stable on Windows.

However, I'm going to try again Linux distros with a virtual box, but I'm a little """scared""" to move on again to Linux Mint since my last experience with editing videos.

I don't need an extremely powerful program to make these editions. Olive, or something like that, suits me perfectly. So, in your opinion, which distro should I try on one virtual box for my daily use for these purposes?

Making a dual boot, from your point of view, is problematic? I see so many different opinions about dual boot, but at this time, I don't know what to think.

Linux can't edit videos as it is just a kernel. Maybe use different software?

Obviously you know what they meant, no need to expect newcomers to have a complete knowledge of what exactly linux is. As far as someone coming from windows or OSX is aware of, “linux” is the alternative.
