Thank you for the fast reply
I looked into distrobox and checks all the boxes but there is the issue of my lack of storage space(currently only 130 GB left out of 240)
Also thank you for the suggestions regarding battery life, will look into those.
I have almost nothing to complain about Fedora, but more so about the dependancy hell i face while trying to build any of the software i require. I want something like NixOS but without the learning curve of learning config file syntax.
I have distro-hopped before so i don't mind switching
I need a distro which is package-agnostic since i use a lot of old ooen source academic software and they alternate between being only supported on RHEL or Ubuntu
Fedora 39 is great except when i need to build the above mentioned software from source and i spend 2 hrs failing to match the dependencies from Ubuntu
Also want to improvey laptop's battery life, but i think i can't get it much better than in Fedora
Sorry, I had forgotten to mention in my post, i am looking for a distro for max performance.

the make
command is stuck at cloning forever as shown in the image.
As long it's open source and audited,i trust them.
Videos do not play if they are part of a playlist,Youtube works normally when i use librewolf(with ublock) though

Single videos(Not belonging to a playlist) and the first video of any playlist loads fine, but subsequent videos never load.
I am using firefox rpm package with ublock origin with default configurations on my fedora 38.
Won't it cause browsing to much slower than it normally is?
