Fedora, for when you grow out of Blender and need to use Maya or Houdini.

So Xfce beats Lxqt and Mate?
However Lxqt is lighter, and Mate more user friendly, right?

It is easier to remove the stupid linux shortcuts in xfce, blender need lots of them to work normally, that's why.

/g/entleman here. All of them are about the same as long as they are reasonably up to date and you avoid using gnome.
Endevour OS is an easy arch derivative that is a bit more vanilla than Manjaro (uses arch repo + slight addons )

Thank you for your participation /g/ anon.

So: Arch + Xfce + Endevour.

I will be honest with you, I am kind of a noob in Linux and I want to do the minimum into manual command.

Endevour is good?
Mate not more user friendly?
IRIX?
ARTIX?

>rendering time is increased by at least 30% on Linux
Show some examples, I am very doubtful of that claim.
Sure there are some programs that are more optimized for Linux and can archive that increase in speed (Nuke allegedly renders 75% faster on Linux), but I doubt that this is a systemic advantage that is related to Linux rather than the result of optimization on the programs itself since the VFX industry uses Linux for rendering, so they profit massively from these kinds of optimizations.
I know for certain that a while back due to their advantage of compiling differently all kinds of 3D programs ran 2-5% faster on Linux, but Microsoft has changed some things in the recent years and that general systemic advantage has decreased AFAIK.
Programs like Houdini and Nuke (even Blender to a degree) profit from better memory management but this shouldn't amount to 30% more speed (at least not in a general sense, but in some isolated cases).
I have never seen differences of that magnitude and I have used a CentOS workstation for a couple of years.
Also the amount of time you have to put into babysitting and keeping a Linux system running properly in comparison to Windows is killing a lot of that presumed gain - the difference is that you have to do that yourself, while on Windows you don't have to, you just have to wait a little longer for your renders to finish, which you can spent with something else.

Arch =/= Artix
Arch is good, it does have a learning curve but still is pretty good.
Artix is a fork of Arch that removes systemd, even if systemd is kinda trashy, just removing it is too unstable and you can't actually rely on it if you need it for your daily driver for work. Theres also the fact that the community for Artix is way smaller than for Arch or Manjaro.
Manjaro can mitigate the learning curve, since it is way more user-friendly and more stable, compared to Arch.
About Mint, it isn't founded by Debian, it is a fork of Debian and that isn't something bad because most distros out there are Debian based. Debian is a nice system if you need a ultra stable distro.
Mint is just great for newfags because it gets all the good stuff about Debian and Ubuntu, and clean it up to be the most simple possible. Also it comes with the cinnamon DE, which is kinda closer to Windows UI.

If you are using only Blender then go for it.
I was using industry pipeline tools and these come with tons of headaches.
On the other hand this video is 2 years old, you might want to check the latest data if this still applies.

Last question anon
.
Between Manjaro or Mint which one is the lightest?

I want the most of my computer resources for my renders.

Manjaro is very good.

I'm interested in TinyCore and Gentoo for the purposes of making the smallest possible OS that can still run Blender and have everything (or at least Blender) compiled as -O3 (or 04? I think that's just recompile speed, not sure) native

But I'm not good enough with Linux for either so I'm using Manjaro XFCE

Dumb amateur, there is nothing to talk about. That model is of sufficient technical quality that whoever made it can make it look any way they want, it is TECHNICALLY flawless.

THEREFORE the only thing to talk about would be the entirely subjective realm of artistic choices. Those choices either reflect an attempt to model features that exist on the reference, and is therefore realism or simulation, or are stylistic choices and are therefore aesthetic and thus subjective.
Consequently any "discussion" is either going to be feedback ("I like this, I don't like this, I think it would look better if") or answered with "It's that way because that's how the reference looks"

In case you don't understand what he said:
Headless mode is where you run a computer without any of the GUI stuff turned.
Blender can do renders in "headless" mode wherein you set up a computer (or toggle your computer into that mode) to be part of a render farm and it runs without loading any of the normal stuff a desktop loads for user convenience.

This is such a weird /g/ meme. I guess if you're running in turbo experimental ultra performance turbo nigger "I'll be writing the syscalls by hand" mode maybe

Windows does "just work" right up until it randomly doesn't and then you get to spend a day either trawling through "fixed! Moderators please delete thread ;)" tech forums or the ever-shifting Leviathan's Labyrinth from Hellraiser that is the MSDN.
Whereas the Linux community is made up of turbo autists that solve any problem pretty fast

I use pop os with cinnamon. Pop os works good with nvidia and cinnamon for stability. None of the other de's have been reliable (freeze or crash after 10+ hours uptime). Mate is also really good but it has refresh rate issues on my machine so cinnamon beats it by that bug, they're equally light desktop enviroments
