Which notebooks are recommendable when coming from Apple Silicon-MacBooks in terms of runtime and efficiency, preferrably for Fedora or Manjaro with KDE Plasma? For now, I am looking towards Lenovo T14(s) or X1 Carbon - mixed use scenario including simple media (photos, cutting 1080p-videos, media management, Office & mail) stuff? Still love the “Lenovo”-brand and its keyboard and look 'n feel so this vendor would be my favourite.

Can anyone of you here recommend Snapdragon-devices yet which would be the best comparison as it’s also architecture based on ARM? Both Fedora and Manjaro have ARM-builds so I hope that the Snapdragon-devices could get along with my desires here…

Thanks for any input!

        distros don’t really matter in this case, the hardware I was using was simply not supported by the kernel

          Then stick with windows 10, once you debloat it and disable all the privacy invasive shit its not the worst OS ever, that title belongs to javaOS. There is no perfect option. There will always be some downside you have to contend with.
