Any advice about converting to Linux?
My laptop is a Precision 3541 with 32 GB ram. Originally I had a 256 GB PCI NVMe M.2 2280 SSD and a 7200 RPM 1 TB HDD. The SSD seems to have died. I have reinstalled Windows 10 on the HDD (and it's way slower after being used to SSDs!)
Anyway, after years of dual-booting and external-booting various Linuxes, I am now sufficiently fed up with Windows and impressed with Linux, that I want to do a switcheroo and make Linux my main OS, with Windows in VM.
I would like to hear your thoughts, experiences, or advice. Is there a particular distro that would be more compatible with the Precision 3541 or Dell laptops in general? I am debating between Linux Mint LMDE (Mint-Debian) or OpenSUSE Leap 15.6 (expected release next month). I would consider Fedora if I must. I don't want Ubuntu - and that's the one that Dell always offers.
Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
