Great choice…that’s why I enjoy Fedora on ThinkPad’s, everything works out of the box.
It’s been at least 3 years since I spent any meaningful, extended time with Fedora. I remember DNF being painfully slow. That’s definitely no longer the case. Updating and installing has been blazingly fast.
I used Fedora for awhile I just happened to discover a Life changing Distro (Antergos) and that was the only reason I left.
I used Antergos but was late to the party. Several months after I installed, Antergos ceased. I moved on and distro hopped a bit and settled on Arch. Then, a few years ago I found out that Antergos rose from the ashes as EndeavourOS. It’s been my main rig daily driver ever since. And that will never change.
My laptops have always been eiter distro hop machines (which is what my Samsung Galaxy Book Pro is) or secondary, non-Arch machines. I think I’ll stick with Fedora on the ThinkPad.
Watch the link you posted but had a few questions and asking questions in this forum over Fedora did not sit well with me. Search a little and watched a few more videos and came across this from a person I had a lot of respect for and what a job they did. Anyone install Fedora 44 with Btrfs this is one that will answer a lot of questions.
It’s not that strange since Fedora was one of the two supported distros you could have pre- installed on a ThinkPad not that long ago.
The ThinkPads purchased for my company came with Fedora pre-installed by default by Lenovo a few years ago.
Wow. I didn’t know that.
Yeah, you can order new ThinkPad’s with either Ubuntu, Fedora, or Windows.
What is this “Windows”? I tried finding it at DistroWatch but it was not listed, so I’m guessing that it’s a really new Linux distro? 
Really?!? Over here in The Netherlands, they stopped offering those two or three years ago. I thought they stopped offering it everywhere. It’s Windows all around over here.
In the Lenovo UK store, there’s a very small number with an option of Ubuntu, and none I can find with Fedora. Thankfully the option of (and discount for) no operating system is still there for many.
I’ve tried Nobara a few times. But every time I got issues after updates were released. Often it broke my system and GE didn’t have time to solve it and release a fix. So I had to wait for days sometimes. Also there is Discord for getting support. I don’t like Discord to ask questions.
Sounds incredibly similar to my experience :0 We need a ‘me too’ emoji (or is there one)?
