Haven’t looked recently but have a look at Laptops with Linux.
Assuming you’re on Fedora 40: sudo dnf install dnf5
It depends on your priorities, hardware, use cases etc. Honestly it’s unlikely to be the determining factor. Available hardware and software support and your attitude to risk are probably more important. Fedora is a cutting edge distro with good reliability and is feature rich. It’s upstream of Red Hat Enterprise Linux so has massive support behind it and a large user base. There are multiple spins if you want GNOME or KDE or an immutable OS etc. Adding additional repos such as RPMfusion make adding Nvidia and other proprietary drivers a breeze. As with most things GNU/Linux you need to be prepared to put in the effort to take control of your digital life. It’s not easy but well worth it.
This is the best summary could come up with: Killing innocent civilians is a legitimate war aim and the UK will sell you the bombs to do it. Because $$$$. Btw where is the envelope stuffed with cash? /s
“dnf -C …” may change your life!
It’s a stupid gimmick - just like air drops. If the US wanted it could go and open the border crossings for aid. Hundreds of lorries a day are required. Not doing that reveals the truth - starving mainly innocent Palestinians.
New bugs. Excellent!
