Mint has a more noob friendly approach with almost everything having a ui and it is Ubuntu under the hood so there wouldn't be extra to learn after switching. Popularity wise mint is one of the best stable distros with Ubuntu as its base with community support as well so if you have doubts you can most probably find the answer just by searching

    As the title says, my bootable usb is not showing up in the boot menu for my ThinkPad e14 AMD ryzen 5 7530u , gen 5 I think. I have disabled secure boot in the uefi and disabled fast startup in windows. Am I missing anything ? Note: this is my first time using a uefi bios so I don't know if there are any other kinks to mess with .

    Edit : I contacted lenovo support for the above issue but even they couldn't find the answer so I guess won't be using linux for this laptop. But since it's for uni I guess it's fine. I will just use WSL

    Edit 2: Reinstalled the bios , the usb boots now . Finally slapped opensuse on it and now running it

     

    Well i started my B tech course this year, I am looking for a laptop for my use case. I am using linux as a main os for 3 years.

    The laptop which i currently use is a Dell Inspiron N5110. Its a pretty old machine so i am currently looking for an upgrade.

    Things which I do :

    1. Read documents
    2. Watch videos and listen to music
    3. Light coding
    4. Tinker with almost everything
    5. Try new software if i can.

    I REALLY need a a laptop with good cooling and battery life like 5 hours is fine.
