From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I will trial both I guess. See which I like more.
I am leaning towards Fedora just to have Pipewire and Walyand standard.
I am comfortable with any desktop enviroment as long as it is not KDE. I would rather use a mouseless tiling WM than that.
Then I'd try Silverblue. It's literally just Fedora Workstation but with their new immutable tech. It's incredibly stable once you install it and is built around having all your things running in containers. If shit fucks up, you can easily roll back to previous versions. Silverblue also has flavours in KDE and Sway. Since it's literally Fedora, it's also made by Red Hat and is what Fedora will eventually turn into.
I just remembered I have a lenovo gaming laptop that gets no love because it is huge and I stopped lugging it around when I inherited a MacBook Air.
Time to try it!
