Hi All,
coming from CP/M and MS-DOS (those were the days ) via Windwows 3.1 and all the others, I finally dare the transition to Linux.
I would be grateful for help, when it comes to choose the "right" distro for my laptop.
Besides all the common office and web stuff (no gaming), I would like to run some CPU-hungry tasks like electronic simulations (LTSPICE), AI data processing (Python) and image stacking (astronomical photography).
My platform:
lenovo ThinkPad W530
CPU: Intel Core i7-3820 QM (sysinfo reports 8 CPU's)
RAM: 16 GB
Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro K2000M and Intel HD Graphics 4000
Storage: SSD 512 GB
LAN: Intel 82579LM Gigabit
So the Q is: which distros would be suitable to tap the speed potential of this platform?
Thanks for your support.
