I tried mint but it doesnt work on my display out of the box, ik you can always try tinkering but i’d love to switch to something that works no terminal needed. Im gonna give fedora budgie a try, anything else i should try? im interested in photo and video editing but i hate win 11.

    A bit of an odd choice but I’ve had good experience with openSUSE microOS. It is an immutable OS so when it updates it’s all in one big update kind of like a mobile phone. Keeps it stable and keeps it from building up cruft like a lot of OSes.

    Don’t use it if you don’t like flatpak apps though. And it only has Gnome or KDE flavors. It just works for me though.

        Who makes the Wi-Fi card? You might need their firmware installed. All the major makers are usually included by default though. Like intel or Realtek should just work.

            Should work out of the box on any distro being an intel card. I’m not familiar enough with Fedora to really help with that.

              its never like that imo, there is typically something wrong out of the box which requires some tinkering
