Hello,
I just purchased an AMD framework 13 and while I wait (im)patiently for it to arrive, I was wondering what Linux distros people here are using.
I’ve only ever use Ubuntu on desktop, but I think I’m ready to move away from it now, which I guess leaves fedora and mint as officially supported distros.
What have you tried? What are your experiences?
That battery drain issue is one I’ve ready a lot, unfortunately.
Just checked out zorin, since this is the first I’ve heard of it. Sounds like being able to run windows apps is it’s main USP, if I’m not mistaken. What’s your experience with thatm
So you can set up other distributions to run Windows apps as well, Zorin just makes it a little easier. When you first try to run a Windows executable you’ll be prompted to install the necessary components to run Windows apps. After everything is set up, a decent number of windows apps can be run straight from the file browser without having to open up bottles or something. Not everything will run though, and for games you may get better performance running through bottles or lutris.
Thats pretty awesome. The only thing I miss from windows is the affinity 1 suite. Never been much of a gamer, so that’s not such a big deal.
I like the idea that it’s based on Ubuntu, since that will keep things familiar. What I’m trying to get away from though is the snaps. I didn’t mind them at first, because they could just be ignored, but not anymore
