Question Fedora?

Is fedora the best distro for my Thinkpad t460s with 20gb of ram? I asked Gemini and it's said is fedora for its compatibility, it's true? What is the best?

Fedora and RHEL is certified for Thinkpad, and most of RHEL/Fedora dev use thinkpad daily, so most compatibility is there.

You can try install and tinker around with it.

And for daily use? Like videos, play games, make homework in Google docs, etc...

I use Fedora on a T460, it works completely fine for anything web-based. Not sure about games though, it heavily depends on what type of games you're planning to play.

I agree with the sentiment for game, usually I don't game, but proton and steam should be working well in Fedora, it's bleeding edge and stable.
