What is a good first time linux distro for an EliteBook Folio 9470m?
kubuntu
Solux. Very easy distro and looks good

I have ThinkPads with lower-end hardware
Solus GNU/Linux.
Solus Linux*
FTFY
mate or budgie or gnome (tho i don't think Sup Forums likes gnome lol)

Guys, while a lot of this might be complete autism, I personally think that in this day and age, calling it GNU/Linux actually has some real meaning. There is this little thing called Android, and it uses the Linux kernel, but the rest of the components are non-GNU. Some are even proprietary! However, I have seen normies make the dangerously misleading claim that "Android is Linux!" It technically is, as it uses the Linux Kernel, but it shares nothing else with GNU/Linux distros, particularly their respect for your freedoms.
Because of this, we should say GNU/Linux, so as not to confuse it with the botnet that is Android, or other such projects. By saying GNU/Linux, we make it clear that yes, we are using Linux, but we are also using Free Software.
well im a N00bFag from discord for a reason...
also i knew that already
Anything is fine, you can change your mind anytime you feel like. GNOME is easy to use and configure but technically shitty
*autistic screeching*
Yo, same laptop as you. Bought it a few months ago. Lobbed on a ssd and dualbooted it between wangblows for uni and Linux mint for learning. But I also use solus on my desktop and its pretty comfy. Both distrust are good, and both get the job done for me.
woah. did i really fucking wrote Solux? fuck me. Sorry it was very early in morning, but Solus is a great distro. Has a great package manager, easy to install sw, looks simillar to windoze and its fast, responsive and looks good out of the box.
>first time
that would be ubuntu
fedora gnome
ubuntu distros don't work with elitebooks
Unironically Gentoo/LFS. This will teach you to fix your own problems and not bother the community with stupid questions like the one you posted. Ignorant fagot.
gentoo is the only decent distro
just werks but still it's pretty bloated
if you have a week or 2 better look at lfs

A *buntu is the only GNU/Linux distro you ever need. Personally I favour Xubuntu, but once XFCE gets too old I think I might go Kubuntu.
Debian is fine too if you don't mind it being fucking ancient.
Fedora + kde + Latte dock
agreed FUCK OFF KEVIN
cinamon mint is the easiest, even my grandma uses it.
