Try out Fedora! There's Fedora Rawhide if you want rolling release. I have been using Rawhide (+ mainline, non rc or git, kernel) on my work machine for the past 6 months without issue. If you have to compile a lot of kmods it can be a

This is exactly why I am excited about the Arc GPUs. I have had rock solid stability with Intel iGPUs on Linux (yes, even compared to AMD which my desktop has). I don't need something super powerful but driving a 4k display or two with

My 5420s (~50 of them out of a ~200 laptop fleet) with an i5-1135g7 on Fedora Rawhide and CentOS 7 (with mainline kernel) don't seem to be affected by this, BUT I have a couple 5490s with 8656u CPUs that are. I should note that the 865

Even that doesn't help in cases as Google will interpret your jargon filled query to something that's a lower common denominator and return irrelevant results regardless.

Have you tried using Windows 10/11 with on-access and behavioral AV (not defender) on 4gb of RAM and a 5400rpm spinning disk? I find it entirely plausible that they have to wait an hour plus for the machine to become remotely responsiv
