Hi all,

My partner got a new laptop for Uni this autumn, an Asus Zenbook 14" UX3405. I'm setting it up with Linux since we've both used it on our main machines for the last few years and are used to it. All it'll be used for is note-taking, emails, browsing. Basically the stuff you'd use a Chromebook for.

I installed Aurora, since an immutable/atomic distro should be more stable, but I had several issues I couldn't fix, so I rebased to Fedora Budgie Atomic, which for some reason was on Fedora 42, so I upgraded to 44 and now somehow the whole install is borked. I just don't have much experience with BOOTC based systems yet, so I've probably made a few mistakes.

Anyway, I'm wondering if for this a standard Fedora install would be more stable? Or should I give Fedora Budgie Atomic another try, or maybe some other immutable distro?

E: Decided to go back with Ultramarine (Budgie) since it's worked very well on my main machine and I actually know what I'm doing there.
