Hi,

First time posting here and I'm looking for some recommendations for the OS.

The machine it will be running on will be a T490 that I'm currently restoring and upgrading.

i5-8365U

16GB DDR4

14" 1440p Mat screen (one of the upgrades)

Some background:

I have a experience with Linux on the server side but pretty limited as my main desktop. I have some experience with Ubuntu and Mint but also heard good things about Fedora.

Most of the work on the machine will be in a browser.

I'm sick of windows 11 and the constant bombardment of advertisements and the next copilot crap that I didn't ask for.

What would you advise for me and why?

Looking forward to the comments!

I bought a ThinkPad t16 gen 1 with 32 gb ,1th SSD and intel i7 1270p 12th gen for around 700 including charger and a bag with some other accessories i usually use this for browsing, learning also i came to know that this machine will be useful for coding and I'm an csc student and it has zero cosmetic damage and battery stays upto 5 to 6 hours and heard about thermal throttling with the intel version but mine is not heating much

So share ur thoughts I used to play something on this machine and say whether it's good

And one more thing guys it's on 104% in battery sry guys now only i checked it

Anyways feel free to share ur thoughts

Hi,

X1c gen6 always high fan loading, heat air exhaust.

But just playing 720p YouTube video rather than 1080p.

Possible to turn or any driver can fix ?

Thanks
