Hi all, one simple question.
I have to cut a straight line in a piece of laminated wood. Should I
use the orbital motion or not?

No. Orbital is more aggressive but rougher.

Someone also suggested me to use blades intented for metal instead of
wood as they are more "gentle" when biting into the laminated wood,
can you confirm this?

Use a bosch "Progressor" blade for wood.

You can buy them he

That have dozens of blade types for specific applications: you can drill
down to get specs he
