Mint has released 3 versions based on Ubuntu Jammy, though.

Well, there must still be a reason that people are going to other distros… I don’t think Pop has any inherent problems (unlike Manjaro for example) so perhaps the average user (counting myself in there) simply considers those under-the-hood changes less appealing than new GUI stuff, especially when the demographic is gamers. Things like Cosmic’s improved tiling and the built-in theming support will be a major attraction, I think.

Interesting, the Flatpak is laggy for me.

Best distro for Lenovo Carbon X1

I have a Lenovo Carbon X1 that is a few years old (7th gen), and I am running Fedora 38.5 with GNOME 44.5. The issue is that the system does not sleep properly. If I close the lid, nothing suspends properly, so if it is not on a charger or shut down it will die within several hours in my bag. Are there any distros that handle...

I have an X1 gen 9 and sleep-on-close worked just fine with Fedora for the time I used that distro (although it was KDE, not GNOME). Every other distro I tried worked as expected in that respect.

Fedora is also Wayland only, which I wouldn’t recommend to a newbie with an old laptop.

If you have a server or second computer on your network you can use Syncthing as a kind of cloud-drive-esque bacup.

I use the free version for my Win10 VM. It works well, plus it’s super easy to share folders between guest and host. I’m not sure about 3D though, I use it for Photoshop & Illustrator.

Wayland is perfectly fine and production ready and has been for several years now

… for you.

I regularly do presentations for work and in Wayland I can’t play a video in a slide deck if presenting on an external display.

My god, the day has actually come, finally.
