Hey /g, i never used any Linux distribution until now. Just tried Ubuntu when I was a kid but couldn't stand to type a password every 2 seconds so I dropped it. The most comparable thing I can think of when it comes to distributions are Android Roms. I have always loved CyanogenMod ones. Is there something as comfy and not stressful for the battery I can use on a laptop?


Also if you got any recent laptop+Linux combo you know would be nice give me some suggestions :)

Try GNOME Ubuntu, it's a bit on the heavier side so I'll need some specs before I can fully recommend it but it's the easiest DE/Distro combo that'll give you that comfy feeling.

I've never tried it but wattOS is supposed to be a very energy efficient distro. If you're going for maximum comfy and ease of use, Debian and OpenSUSE are good, as are certain Ubuntu flavors. For hardware, buy a ThinkPad. They really do work the best with GNU/Linux. You can install Linux on Macs but they force hybrid MBR causing severe instability, so avoid those. I use OpenSUSE KDE on a ThinkPad T420 and it's pretty good. If you need insane battery life, buy an X220 and get a battery slice thingy. For both the X220 and T420, they're super easy to take apart and service, and if you don't find a distro you like you can install Windows or Mac OS on them easily.

seconding Ubuntu Gnome. Been distro hopping for a few years now and finally settled on it a few months ago and have been enjoying it a lot so far.

You can make it so that there is no superuser password but that just leaves your system wide open

Hp laptops work just fine
Razer is improving support
Dell has great support
System76 will work perfectly
Asus should work just fine

Just try the live environment and test if everything works

Why about IdeaPads? Or Dell's? My situation is the same as OP but I would like to try on a brand new >500$ laptop.
Any advice?
Thanks!
