Machine is a HP ENVY x360 Convertible 15-eu1xxx with the touch screen. Ryzen 7 5825U, touch screen 16gb RAM.

Top recommendation of within one hour of me posting this decides what distro I install. Please not Hannah Montana linux or even worse, Arch.

I leave the decision up to you.

Edit:

The winner was linux mint. I've downloaded the ISO and am installing now. I hope my boss doesn't get pissed.

I took a look at NixOS. Am I correct in the assumption that I'd need to take a bachelor's degree to actually get how to use that thing and I'm shit outta luck because I'm an embedded programmer?

Just taking Advanced Functional Programming should be enough.

I have taken such a course, actually, but frankly my NixOS configuration is just a bunch of copy paste from all around the place. I think I could've pulled it off before going to college.

So it's the natural heir to Emacs?

No, not even slightly.

I played around with it for an hour and had the whole thing figured out.

There's one config file, you add the packages you want to it. Done. Once you've got the syntax the rest is a piece of cake.

I know about the config file. But updating, flakes, home-management, etc make my head spin.
