Rep: Reputation: 0 Question How to install Linux on a new laptop?
I recently purchased a new laptop and I'm interested in installing Linux on it. However, I have some questions
about the process.
Firstly, do I need to make any changes to my BIOS settings before installing Linux? I've read that some laptops
may require certain settings to be changed or disabled in order for Linux to install properly.
Secondly, what are the best ways to prepare my laptop's hardware for a Linux installation? This includes
partitions, disk formatting, and other considerations.
Lastly, which distributions of Linux should I consider installing on my new laptop?
I'm looking for recommendations that take into account the latest developments in Linux technology and user
experience. Some specific features I'd like to see are:

1. A user-friendly interface
2. Good hardware support (including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth)
3. Regular security updates
4. A wide range of software applications available
5. Community support

I'm open to suggestions on both desktop and server distributions.
Here's some information about my laptop:

• Processor: Intel Core i7-1165G7
• RAM: 16 GB DDR4
• Storage: 512 GB SSD
• Graphics Card: Intel Iris Xe Graphics
• Operating System: Windows 10 (currently installed)

Thank you for your help!

Rep: Reputation: 0 I have some additional information about my laptop that may be helpful:

• The BIOS is set to UEFI mode, which is the default setting. However, I've read that Linux can also install in
  Legacy/BIOS mode if needed.
• My Wi-Fi adapter is a Realtek RTL8821CE
• My Bluetooth adapter is a Intel AX201
• My laptop has an SSD, but it's not a NVMe drive (it's a SATA III drive)
• I'm interested in installing a 64-bit version of Linux
