gofastercloud | 7 months ago | on: Ask HN: Is Linux for laptop worth the trouble?

My wife has an old-ish Lenovo T14s which I’m debating stealing to play with Linux on. Last time I ran Linux as a desktop OS was Gentoo on a Sony Vaio about 15 years ago and, while the experience was good, the weekends spent building software from source were not!!!

I’ve been a Mac user for about 10 years now, but been doing Unix/Linux sysadmin since the late 90s. Hopefully I can pick it up again! What are people using for a distro nowadays? Any recommendations that work well with Thinkpads?
