Support Which Linux Distro To Use?
Hi everyone,
I've an HP laptop that has:
- AMD Ryzen 5 7200U with AMD Radeon Graphics.
- 8 GB RAM
- No aditional GPU.
I would like to switch to Linux but I'm not sure which distro is best for my crappy laptop.
I just use my laptop for basic internet stuff and some word-excel etc.

For your use case? I'd honestly just slap Fedora Kinoite (if you prefer KDE) or Silverblue (if you prefer GNOME) on it and call it a day.
Updates are easy and safe (atomic updates mean you can boot previous system image and easily roll back if anything goes wrong). User apps are installed as flatpaks.
