Typically when receiving any review hardware preloaded with Microsoft Windows I tend to run some Windows vs. Linux benchmarks just as a sanity test plus it still seems to generate a fair amount of interest even though the outcome is almost always the same: Linux having a hefty performance advantage over Windows especially in the more demanding creator-type workloads. As an unexpected twist and time consuming puzzle the past two months, when recently testing out the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 it’s faster for numerous workloads now on Microsoft Windows 11 than Ubuntu Linux.

    I thought Fedora KDE was not rolling? I would like to have known stable “checkpoints” as full releases. Kubuntu is good but some packages seem a bit older than I’d like.

    I’ve been primarily using Flatpaks on Kubuntu already. Otherwise AppImage or Snap. I’m mostly avoiding native installs aside from Steam and Chrome Beta

      You are correct on Fedora not being rolling. My mistake. If you are fine with not having (as many) native installs you should be fine with Fedora.

        From what I’ve seen, Fedora is like halfway to rolling. It’s pretty cool for sure. I was also looking at Manjaro which is maybe similar but slightly more stable.
