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.

Trying Linux in VirtualBox for 3D gaming or video editing will give you poor performance. You may get better performance running Linux from a Linux live usb/cd image.
For video editors Shotcut is gaining popularity and features. It is also available for Windows so you can try it without a Linux installation : https://shotcut.org/download
Not sure if for video editing you should go for a specific Linux flavor, like https://ubuntustudio.org but “distro-hopping” is not a bad thing in my opinion. Try a few Linux distributions and see what you like and dislike, and then decide on your favorite. A tool like Ventoy can make it very easy to have ten or more Linux flavors on your usb pen drive to play with.
