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?

I use Fedora on a X1 Carbon and it definitely was better than Linux Mint in regards to battery efficiency. I get hours more battery after switching to Fedora.

Fedora and Ubuntu worked with IBM/Lenovo to certify them. So clearly they have put in the work to ensure compatibility and efficiency.
