Also holy moly, these comments sadly show once again what's wrong with the Linux community... We need to moderate ourselves a bit more. Toxic distro bashing and stuff like "this article has no value" will only lead to no more Linux testing from Notebookcheck, and I can completely understand this. Touch some grass :) Plus it's super off-putting for new users who read y'alls comments.

Mint is an excellent distro, esp. for newcomers, just not on super recent hardware like the T14 Gen 7. Although once could have easily updated the Kernel to 7.0 on Mint graphically in the "Update Manager" (View -> Linux Kernels).

QuoteFrom my humble point of view, however, Fedora is not a good testing bed, as you have the worst of both worlds in this case: a kernel that is only updated each 6 months, and some serious instability at release time.

That's not true, Fedora regularly backports important packages like the kernel. Fedora's kernel version is usually pretty close to rolling distros.
