Best distro for my Laptop?
  • 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

    Issue with Youtube

    Single videos(Not belonging to a playlist) and the first video of any playlist loads fine, but subsequent videos never load.
