Which distro for my laptop?
I'm asking because currently I'm using Mint 20.2 and since the very start I had nothing but problems with it. Starting with lack of wifi. I found somewhere on github a driver written by someone and the guy said his not talking any responsibility and he will not be updating it (if I remember correctly). I'm only saying this because I had to turn on Windows to check something (first time after like four moths) that's in parallel with Mint and it started what? Yes, updating. It updated BIOS as well and now I have no wifi what so ever.
To be fair after one of the Mint updates system completely refused to work. It was freezing all the time if of course I managed to boot in to it in the first place So now I'm running it on the outdated kernel.
I was just wondering what is your experience? Which distro runs best on what hardware?
This is me HP Envy R7 5000 16GB.
