Why not consider Open or NetBSD? They can make nice desktops, and OpenBSD is very friendly on laptops. And they are lighter than Fedora and perform much better. And, they use a maximally free license, but this is simply my preference. You may feel different.

I wouldn’t say that OpenBSD is friendly on laptops, especially on laptops made in the past five years or so.

I've always been told that ThinkPad should work, even relatively modern ones. Is that not true?
