Debian is a great distro itself. I just happen to love Fedora and appreciate their stability (meaning, the software usually works very well)

No problems on my laptop. Mi Notebook Pro with that exact same GPU. On Wayland in Fedora since 36 everything's gone super smooth.

I suggest you check Silverblue + Ansible (or CoreOS/IoT for server stuff).

For sure. I believe Debian's AppArmor integration is a little bit of an afterthought and there's lots of patches missing as Canonical likes to keep many improvements downstream.

Is LMMS really functional? I thought only Ardour could be used for serious audio production on the FOSS world.

Of course there's still Reaper and Bitwig, but those are not FOSS.

Fedora MATE or LxQt

I mean, Linux is not American than Finnish at this point.

But yeah, it still was born in Finland :)

To be fair chrome is an option on Fedora as well

So does mine. I installed Fedora on an old, 4GB laptop connected to a monitor for her to watch Netflix and TV on her bed. We literally reused a laptop from 2013, an old 900p monitor and a VGA cable + a cheap, poor quality Amazon speaker I was not using at all. I'm really happy with how everything turned out.

Is NixOS the new Arch?

Would FreeCAD work?

Then put Linux on it
