I'm running Kali on a Lenovo Thinkpad t540p. Let me know if you need help with anything else.
People often change because they seek better options or solutions to their current challenges.
It seems Kali poses challenges when running on bare metal. This decision is personal, and what suits one might not fit another's setup. What systems are you using? Some distributions handle certain tasks better than others. Fedora is great for programming and everyday use, but gaming demands significant effort. How much time are you willing to invest in installing and maintaining it? For a gaming rig, Arch Linux offers strong performance, though setting it up and running it can be complex if you're new to it.
Kali is a regular system? It could be a bit tough, but I get why you're thinking about changing. From a distribution standpoint, you have Debian or Arch options, plus more business-oriented ones like Fedora and RHEL. If you need frequent updates, Arch-based distros work well—I personally use EndeavourOS. For stability, fixed-release distributions such as Ubuntu or Debian might suit better. For gaming, a rolling release is ideal, but ultimately it depends on your needs and how you use your computer.
Generally, feedback is accurate, though there are a few areas worth noting. My top experiences have been with Manjaro, Mint, and Fedora—currently using Fedora. The choice of distribution should align with your needs and whether you prefer LTS or rolling release kernels.
FreeBSD, Debian, Manjaro, Arch, Gentoo are popular distributions.
