Hello ppl,
I'd need some advice regarding distro choice on aging Lenovo Thinkpad x270, with dual core i7, NVME SSD and 16 GB RAM.
W10 is usable but sluggish and even if not, I wanna put Linux on it.
Linux Mint seems nice, as I don't care about the eye-candies.
What I do care about is the stability, driver compatibility, and efficient usage of available hardware resources.
Above all, I need a distro that allows proper usage of Trackpoint, as in the past I have tried numerous distros with other Thinkpads, none of which could've done so (without couple of months of tweaking, and even then it was jerky and questionable). The issue with Trackpoint with Linux is that the pointer goes too fast, is unrefined and therefore unusable. The one of strong points of Thinkpad is Trackpad therefore...
Thanks for the suggestions.
