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 : shotcut.org/download
Not sure if for video editing you should go for a specific Linux flavor, like 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.
