From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Which (Lenovo) notebooks to buy when coming from Apple Silicon? (lemmy.skumring.com)

Which notebooks are recommendable when coming from Apple Silicon-MacBooks in terms of runtime and efficiency, preferrably for Fedora or Manjaro with KDE Plasma? For now, I am looking towards Lenovo T14(s) or X1 Carbon - mixed use scenario including simple media (photos, cutting 1080p-videos, media management, Office & mail) stuff? Still love the "Lenovo"-brand and its keyboard and look 'n feel so this vendor would be my favourite.

Can anyone of you here recommend Snapdragon-devices yet which would be the best comparison as it's also architecture based on ARM? Both Fedora and Manjaro have ARM-builds so I hope that the Snapdragon-devices could get along with my desires here...

Thanks for any input!

To just directly answer your question, it seems the T14s is the best supported.

Ubuntu supports it in Ubuntu 25.04 but it does not look like there is support in Fedora yet.

You will probably have to install KDE yourself but it should work fine: https://linuxconfig.org/kde-desktop-installation-on-ubuntu-24-04

Just needing some spare time to test this - T14(s) is in the focus here. Thanks for the info! 😀
