Eu tenho um computador super velhinho, porém guerreiro, que utilizo pouco mas que, por ficar estrategicamente colocado em um outro cômodo, é muito útil em certos momentos. Ele estava rodando o #Lubuntu 22.04 de forma bastante satisfatória, mas após o sistema quebrar completamente em uma atualização de rotina eu estou hesitante em continuar utilizando essa distro.

I'm setting up a new device for someone who wants to try out Linux. What distro would you recommend?
Some information about the user:
- uses MacOS currently
- wants stuff to work (minimal tinkering after setup)
- quick to boot
The device will probs be quite an old device (~3-5 years old, 8gb RAM though) and is mostly to run OBS. I'll check system requirements when I know the device ofc, just wondering what you people think is a good distro for them.

I have a relatively new #ASUS ProArt13 laptop where I still have a #Microsoft #Windows installation so I can keep upgrading its firmware (I planned removing it once I have a stable #Linux distro with kernel >= 6.14).
I'm surprised by how unstable it is. Just leaving it doing nothing for more than 10 minutes is enough to trigger a #BlueScreenOfDeath (I can reproduce the issue). If I keep doing stuff, it does not crash.
At this point I'm not sure if it's Microsoft's fault or ASUS'... but I suspect the blame falls on Windows side (nothing like that happens on my Linux installation).
