2 years agoIt’s listed as “medium difficulty” due to newer hardware in the laptop not being fully compatible with the kernel shipped in that old version of Ubuntu. I believe 22.04 is compatible out of the box.
I had to use a Debian sid nightly installer to set up Debian on my laptop, no big deal for me but for someone new to Linux I can see why that might be off-putting.
We used to run firewalls running Fedora at work, works fine. Issue is you’re only getting 6 months of updates, best to look at Rocky Linux for something that doesn’t change much if you do anything beyond a single program.
