I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on a switch to Linux. Looking for advice and discussion

In terms of hardware, what are some good cost effective resources and what what things might I want to consider differently than what I am used to in both the Mac and Windows worlds? I need smart home management, a plex hub, and photo editing, as well as the usual other stuff.

EDIT: When I say photo editing, I am talking about working with RAW files to optimize the image according to my taste and style. I also make use of software that has good library organization capabilites. In this case, I use CaptureOne. I do not generally do the sort of editing people do in photoshop, putting unicorns in their pictures or whatever people do these days. I’m not opposed to cool creative images or anything, I just don’t go down that route terribly often.

    I know, I know. Waylands breaks everythings, xorg just works, etc.

    But that’s the truth: Wayland is the way to go.
    Maybe in 2 or 5 years, but still the way to go.

    Development on that side should be encouraged. Xorg will not get other updates.

    I myself use xorg on desktop and wayland on laptop (both Gnome, but I’m coming from XFCE). I know what I say.

      I swear I’ve been hearing that since Ubuntu first switched to wayland in 2017 (and then promptly reverted back to xorg)
