Even though it is prolly the most friendly version for Win$$ users lol I rather something more familiar like Debian. Last time start out with Slackware, but Debian just easier to live with cos maintenance no problem I partition 180G Win 11, 300GB for Data. If install Linux, maybe shrink that last volume down to 220GB and use 80GB. Might do that once I add a second m2 ssd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Size is larger cos they include a whole bunch of kernels with support for lot of hardware (which Debian/Slack/Arch don't do by default). Plus Mint installs a lot of software by default - in trying to be a starting point distribution for everyone. Think you can kill the GUI from starting up, then remove the whatever it is you are running along with all the GUI programs. Then go with an environment that takes less space like XFCE or LXDE and install what GUI apps you need. Confirm save lot of space Debian default approach with the netinstall CD is .. help chiu build base system with networking on - then install whatever you want. But yeah, need to know what hardware exists on your machine - so you can grab whatever unspoorted device driver is needed and put on your bootable USB stick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pain of looking for the right driver/package/library on top of experimenting with new shit is too much.

You will get better cooling, and most likely a CPU with a higher TDP. Might as well get a HS series from AMD instead of U - like a 7840HS instead of 7840U https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/laptop/ryzen/7000-series/amd-ryzen-7-7840hs.html https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/laptop/ryzen/7000-series/amd-ryzen-7-7840u.html The TDP difference between the HS and U series is significant, and you'll get a lot more performance in a miniPC like chassis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time job mah .. once setup no need change anything. That's why okay with that approach with Debian. But yeah, all the drivers that work on Ubuntu and Mint work with Debian - just that you need to add them manually. Actually, Mint I think has a fully Debian edition or used to - so might download and check it out. I hate it with the new UEFI nonsense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
