I’ve ready that is a nice and very advanced OS. I run a dell laptop with Intel processor, so I was thinking of checking it out.I did a live disc and it felt like every other version of gnome… Though there are probably many¹ features im not aware of. So what and who is this distro for. Me running Intel drivers, processor, CPU, would it me to make the swap?

    It feels weird to me to invest in a distro that focuses on just one CPU manufacturer for a laptop. If I was trying to hyper-optimize a server then it makes sense. But what if you get very used to how this works and then switch to an AMD laptop in a couple years? Or maybe ARM becomes the next big thing?

    It’s heavily Intel-optimized as you can tell from the project’s page. The distro is primarily aimed at container workloads but there’s no harm in using it as a desktop distro. It’s supposedly fast! (according to Phoronix benchmarks).
