I am sticking with Debian for my ancient laptop i5-4200U.

Mostly work.....except the optimus crap...

Cannot. Must move out from comfort zone.

My ultimate goal is to master Arch!! 😎

Arch eh? I got tired of dealing with the weekly to monthly breakage before swtching to Debian.

No much time available for troubleshooting after working white collar job....

Back in the day during university and job hunting times, spent so much on learning linux stuff.
Man....those were the days.....

have u tried MX Linux?

Kali or go home!

real man build own distro and kernel

I'm using Q4OS for my Touchbook CF-19. Light and smooth.

Hacker's OS. Got many tools to hack and sniff WiFi signals.

i used it 10 years ago to do something

Same. I used it to steal passwords from public WiFi. Hehehe. Got many corporate passwords too.

Kali is cool!

So many nerds here ahahaha.
I almost become a nerd when i was a fledgling, but finally evolved into automotive specialist aka mat rempit.

Wow RAM usage less than 2GB. Win 11 uses 4GB as default.

What was the RAM usage for Mint?

Full browser mode on Youtube page.

I didn't pay attention to RAM usage in Mint. Should be less than 3 GB.

i do excel a lot. excel 365 is damn slow in win11.
i'm not sure at this point, it is 365 or win11 problem.

and the file explorer of win11 sucks big time, especially the search.
i gave up when i tried to move >10k of csv files (after search).

M$ is so f^ck up

I have installed Garuda Sway on my Thinkpad T430s

fixed
