Fantastic, this is extremely helpful, thank you! 🥇 I wanted to test a couple of distros for my Thinkpad, and I’ll make sure to check and save this kind of information from live USBs.

Thank you, that’s useful info, I didn’t know about this. Could you be so kind to share some link, or say something more, about lspci and lsmod and how to proceed from them to identifying which drivers one should install? Cheers!
Yeah to me too. I’m not clicking on that “Download client” link for sure.
Thank you for sharing your experience with it. Good to hear from many people that it was reliable.
Thanks for the encouragement, I will! I’ll report here in case anyone is curious.
I don’t know what you have in mind with “trustworthy”, and about what, so maybe this comment is worthless for you. But I’ve been using their cloud storage for several years (like other commenters here), for work-related files, and to sync them between computers and phone. Their syncing system and apps are actually great. No complaints on my part.
Thank you for such a thorough and informative answer! And for sharing your user experience too. I had not heard about GnomeOS. As soon as I have some days to experiment, I’ll give Neon a try.
Thank you for sharing this! Yesterday I was searching online for Tumbleweed user experiences on Thinkpad, but I only found info about older Thinkpad models. I’ll try it from a live disk. I might also switch to Framework later on…
Thank you for sharing your experience. May I ask which machine you’re using? (I’m on a Thinkpad.)
That’s a neat description.
Never heard about Garuda, cheers!
Great advice, thank you! I’ll give a first try to the first three through live disks :)
Exploring and learning are the essence of life :)
Thank you for the info. From what I understand, one only sees up/downvotes from one’s own instance (lemmy.ca in my case). When I posted it I saw it going down to -3 in a couple of minutes, so I was wondering if my question was really dumb…
I got lots of great advice in this post!
I’ll delete my edit :)
Thank you! I was hoping to hear about this kind of user experiences.
The fact they they listen to users’ preference is a great plus for me.
Advice much appreciated!
Very informative, thanks! Also for the heads-up about install scripts and the cause.
Cheers! I’ve heard that one can install Debian and simply choose KDE there. I’m weighing my options… Undecided among Debian+KDE, Kubuntu, and KDE Neon. Although it also depends on how each deals with my machine. Will have to try some live disks…
Now I understand. Kubuntu instead makes modifications to the Ubuntu core. Although Neon must be somehow removing Gnome, I imagine.
Which can be further summarized: academics (🙋🏻) are basically a bunch of idiotic sheep, despite being in academia.
