  • I’d take a look at something like System76 with their stuff, or potentially something like Tuxedo. If you want Linux pre-installed on a laptop, look for stuff that already has is supported OOTB.

    Of course, there are people refurbishing laptops and slapping Linux on them, as many ThinkPads and similar devices from Lenovo are getting Linux slapped on there. I’d stick with Mint, Pop_OS!, CachyOS, or Nobara Project, unless you want X11/XLibre by default. If XLibre by default, there are many distros that are implementing it instead of XOrg’s implementation of X11.



  • For creative use, that’s very interesting. If you want something that’s with systemd (a set of utilities that are forced on many), then I think something like Linux Mint or Pop_OS!. As for Tuxedo, that’s Ubuntu-based if I’m not mistaken, so it will have the Snap packaging format (basically, a sort of universal package format designed for any command line apps) from Ubuntu 24.04 and beyond. Mint and Pop don’t implement Snap, and use their own repositories.

    Without systemd (because some don’t like systemd), probably something called MX Linux, which is Debian-based might be up your alley. Another option looks to be Nitrux, which I’ve never heard of.

    Otherwise, maybe PCLinuxOS if you want something independent, with another option being potentially OpenMandriva.
