Beginner Distro recommendations (startrek.website)

Long overdue, I know, but looking to start at least partially migrating and working with Dual boot, coming from Windows 10 (putting off 11 as much as possible)...

I have limited Linux experience, mostly in college several years back.

I work remotely with Windows software development, including Winforms, Asp.net, .net core, etc. Not sure what I need to best work with these, particularly Winforms. That may not even be possible, I know.

Looking for any general guidance/recommendations.

Long term, I'm interested in migrating as much as possible, outside of whatever I have to keep up for work... starting with dual boot options then moving towards linux as a primary driver. I have an old media server (also win10, not win11 compatable) not really doing much but running plex when I need it... would love to also eventually poke around with Home Assistant or similar, maybe some LLM tinkering etc.

If this isn't a good community for this, I apologize, and please point me to a better one if you know of one.

Fedora is "the gaming" distro and perfect for Linux beginner confirmed (at least for me) (lemmy.ca)

why? because it's not triggering an obscure anti cheat on a game I've been playing when using wine (performance is still the same tho), everything else is just work no missing dependencies and it's doesn't get in my way like other distros (I tried Arch, Opensuse, Ubuntu, Debian), just to clarify I'm a complete noob when it come to Linux so maybe if I know better I probably make everything works just like Fedora

How to get a package from another distro installed on my distro? (lemmy.nz)

I am trying to install this package on Nobara 38 but it only seems to be available on Deb and Ubuntu https://pkgs.org/download/libpcre3-dev

I've looked around and it seems I need to build the package from source but I cannot find the source or figure out how to build it. I downloaded libpcre3-dev_8.39-15_amd64.deb but im not sure what to do with the file.

I found the PCRE website but it doesn't have a libpcre3-dev https://www.pcre.org/

It might just be easier to do what I need to do in an ubuntu VM. Any advice on how to get this package installed would be appreciated.

.bash_aliases for all users (system wide) (lemmy.world)

One can create a file named .bash_aliases in their home directory to create aliases for that user.

Is there a way to create a .bash_aliases that is system wide for all users? I know one can add aliases in the /etc/bash.bashrc file but this is not ideal.

And is there a way to achieve this with other shells such as zsh and fish?
