Distributions like Fedora and CentOS, both based on Red Hat, are excellent alternatives for anyone seeking a powerful and modern operating system.

Fedora Linux, alongside major names like Ubuntu, Debian and Red Hat, is one of the most popular Linux distributions and an excellent choice for your next laptop. Fedora Workstation is actively maintained and almost always runs the latest kernel, with up-to-date software, drivers and other Linux functionalities. Anyone buying a Fedora laptop can therefore count on the most recent versions at all times — ideal for developers, power users and anyone who wants to get the most out of their hardware.
Fedora has a large and active community. In addition to the Fedora IRC channel and the Reddit community, there are countless forums where Fedora users from all over the world come together. Fedora 44 Workstation ships by default with the GNOME desktop environment, but is also available with KDE, XFCE, LXQt, MATE, Cinnamon, LXDE and SoaS — so you can set up your Fedora laptop entirely to your own preferences.
Unlike Ubuntu and Debian, which use dpkg, Fedora Linux uses the RPM package manager. RPM offers more capabilities than dpkg, including verification of installed packages, an installation history and rollback functionality. Fedora Linux also ships exclusively with open-source software, unlike Ubuntu, which includes proprietary components as well. This has two sides: those who want to use proprietary software will need to install it themselves, while users who prefer to rely solely on open software benefit from this approach.
This is what Fedora Project calls the minimum and recommended system requirements for installing the workstation version of Fedora 44 (source). Please note that this refers to physical installations and not virtual installations.
