Maybe Sparky Linux …
Normally, I use Debian. However, Debian 12 installer didn’t work on my Acer Extensa 💻. So I installed Sparky Linux, and it works.
People claiming Linux isn’t a viable alternative cause you can’t run it without using the command line.
Even in 2024, many people begin using GNU/Linux with Arch Linux or Ubuntu with apt-get, then later they complain that Linux is not for average users. Maybe the community needs more GUI only tutorials.
Like Thinkpad, the main brand is Lenovo. Thinkbook keyboard is like Acer and other brands.
I’m using Lenovo ThinkBook, which is cheaper than Thinkpad, and the keyboard layout is different. It supports upto 40GB of RAM.
I installed Sparky Linux 7 on my backup laptop computer because I failed to install Debian.
