All seriosuness, mint is honestly a good distro even for power users, i installed it on an ssd and used it on a pc a cobled together from parts i had lying around while my main pc was out of state (i left it behind at school for winter break) and i was surprised to find that it was about as easy to work on as arch or debian from a clean install
I don’t like apple as a company and their attitude towards repair makes it so i feel obligated to never recommend one of their products, but if you need it to be fanless, a macbook air is prolly your only really good option, honestly though an m1 should be just fine (I’m assuming your video editing workloads are pretty light), also i recommend checking out Just Josh on YouTube www.youtube.com/channel/UCtHm9ai5zSb-yfRnnUBopAg, he has some great laptop reviews
There’s a common joke that it’s not linux, it’s gnu linux and this is followed by a long copy pasta about how linux is only the kernel which is the code that handles managing how your machine is used
In this case this is important, linux can be a stable os (notible examples include android os, linux mint, debian stable, as well as the server distributions) these generally update slower in order to make sure bugs get squashed. On the other hand there are linux operating systems that are difficult to use for a beginner such as arch, void, and gentoo. There are also distrobutions that have a bad habit of breaking manjaro, gentoo, come to mind. If you want a linux experience that is set it up once and have no more problems than anyone might expect to have on windows you can do that (sometimes you’ll run into a situation where you have a device that doesn’t play well with linux like an algato streamdeck or a device that doesn’t have a driver yet like my sister’s laptop webcam (thanks acer much appreciated) but in general you can have a stable easy experience as long as you aren’t trying to do anything crazy
Here’s my recommendation, make a linux mint thumbdrive boot off it, play around with it, and test varius hardware you have (ie bluetooth, webcam, that one usb dingle doop that no one else has but you use every day). Maybe don’t install it (or do chances are it’ll be just fine) but boot off it often, and once you’ve learnt the os pretty well, back up everything you care about and install linux mint
