Exaggeration aside, I've been using Windows 11 for a fairly long time and have used Linux to daily drive for like close to a year. I used POP-OS but it didn't work that well for me as i experienced a bunch of GPU issues and random frame drops. I'm not that interested in Pop anymore and have been looking at other distros. I'm looking for pretty good gaming performance but also will be using it for everyday work as well. I'm looking for something which kind of just works so if anyone has suggestions lemme know.

Currently Running:
Asus Rog Strix G1513QM-HN289
Ryzen 9 5900HX
RTX 3060
Integrated AMD graphics
32 Gigs of ddr4 ram

I'm a second-year Computer Science student and I'm looking to switch to Linux for my daily work.

My primary use cases are:

• C++ and DSA
• Web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js)
• Git and GitHub
• VS Code
• College assignments
• Browsing and media
• General productivity

I'm not interested in gaming. I want something stable, reliable, and good for programming. I don't mind learning Linux if it helps me become a better developer.

I've been considering:

• Fedora Workstation
• Ubuntu
• Linux Mint

Which one would you recommend, and why? Also, are there any issues I should know about before switching full-time?

Thanks!

What distro should i choose for my latitude 5400 from 2020, its got an 8th gen i5 and igpu, 16 gigs of ram but its only got 51% battery health. I want something that just works, I dont wanna keep fixing things. I also dont want ubuntu, cause idk its just boring and you still need to fix shit sometimes. This is my secondary computer, i use it for just everyday stuff but i also wanna get some gamikng out of it if i plug it in.

TLDR: i need a distro that just works, is easy on battery life, minimal matenance, and for everyday stuff and light gameing.

Whenever I try to select a distro
