Best Linux Distro for Beginner with T420s Anonymous 2017-06-04 02:50:44 Post No. 60740317 [Report]

Alright /g/oys, I got a T420s and I wanna dual-boot Win10 with some Linux distro. My main focuses are battery life, stability and essentially just a smooth feeling that Windows sorta fails to deliver. I still gotta keep Windows 10 because muh oldschool games.

So what distro would you recommend to a Linux beginner?
Inb4 >install gentoo

Ubuntu, but right now shit is in flux, so just go for one of the big non-Gnome Flavors

macOS

It runs flawlessly on the T420, dunno about the T420s but shouldn't be that different.

Arch Linux. Don't listen to the other faggots here. User Arch Linux. I'm now typing this on Arch Linux, which is the Linux distro I use Arch Linux.

I am sorry sir I couldn't quite understand what Linux distribution you are using. Would you be so kind as to clarify once again?

Just got a T430, only linux experience inb4 is Ubuntu.
Installed Mint, (dualboot win7) like it better so far. Difference to me is appearance.

I'm going to have to agree with this. I personally had a fuckload of issues with Ubuntu this release. Fedora's worked really well for me, on the other hand.
