My laptop is an Asus Tuf A14 (Ryzen 9 IA 370, RTX 4060). To date, no Ubuntu or Debian-derived distribution has worked for me. The SOLUTION: Install Fedora 42 (gnome). With Fedora, it doesn't heat up, it doesn't crash, it recognizes the integrated and discrete graphics without installing anything additional. Everything is perfect.

Fedora prides itself in being an early adopter of new technologies and promoting open-source software.
Pros: Easy to install Easy to use package manager Well integrated with GNOME One of the first to include new updates in the Linux community
Cons: Adding software that isn't open-source requires an extra step Not Debian, so proprietary software that is only compatible with Ubuntu and Debian won't work
Debian/Ubuntu software that comes as a .deb file can often be made to work on other distros. Here's how. For a package called example.deb, open the terminal, go to the folder where example.deb is located and type:
ar x example.deb
A handful of files and folders will appear in that folder. One of them is likely called something like data.tar.gz. This is a compressed file which you can decompress using engrampa or whatever is your favourite Linux program for this.
In the decompressed version of that folder you'll find a bunch of stuff, and amongst it somewhere the binary (executable) program you want to run. Possibly in a subfolder called 'bin'. Double click that to start the program.
I did not know that, thanks!
Users should get Fedora 36 beta version in order to have last glibc 2.35.

Great daily use Linux distro, easy to pick up for Windows or Mac users. Easily the join best Linux distro with Mint.
It's very minimalistic, and I who is new to Linux chose this over Mint, and I've had quite the pleasant experience. The Desktop type is quite practical, though might not be for everyone.
Many Fedora users don't know this, but it is possible to do a custom Net installation using the ‘Fedora Everything’ tool. This way, you can create your own fedora spin without it coming loaded with applications you don't need and the desktop of your choice. I've tried it with i3wm and the experience has been fantastic. One of the best distributions you can choose once you have a good foundation of how to use a Linux system.
First of all, I'd like to point out that I use Fedora Workstation 40 on my laptop.
Pros : ✅ Free, open-source, private and secured ✅ Easy to install and use ✅ Modern technology ✅ Regular updates while remaining stable ✅ Most software can be downloaded from the application store, in RPM and/or Flatpak format, even if some versions contain bugs. ✅ Highly customizable through parameters, extensions, terminal... ✅ A multitude of desktop environments available: GNOME by default, KDE Plasma, XFCE, Cinnamon... (Here's the link to download these spins: https://fedoraproject.org/spins) ✅ GNOME offers a beautiful interface, as nice as on Mac or Windows 11. ✅ Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, uses Fedora.
Meh : ✅❌ You'll probably need to use the terminal, which may put some people off.
Cons: ❌ Created, sponsored and partially developed by Red Hat. However, Red Hat is a subsidiary of IBM, a multinational company that regularly practices “economic layoffs”: massive layoffs at a time when the company is doing well, in order to generate more profits for shareholders. In April 2023, Red Hat laid off around 800 people - almost 5% of its total workforce. However, the majority of Fedora developers and board members are not Red Hat employees. ❌ At the end of 2020, Red Hat stopped development of the CentOS distribution, enabling many companies to use RHEL without purchasing a license. ❌ Not everything is compatible with Linux: Microsoft and Adobe software doesn't work, not all games are available... I recommend to dual boot Fedora and a hardened version of Windows.
🙏 Thanks to the developers and the open-source and libre community.
