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!

    Unless it’s a Dell. If you buy one, better research its Linux compatibility beforehand, or you’ll face issues like non-working webcams, fingerprint readers, weird unexplainable crashes and wonky bluetooth behavior.

      P.S theres a reason I used “almost”
