Ubuntu is going on my nerves. I would actually try Fedora again if I had to install a random laptop. Didn't think I would say that again in my lifetime.

Besides the usual distro recommendation, imo the best course of action is just a barebones install of whatever linux distro you want (even ubuntu lets you do a install w/o a desktop environment) and slapping some kind of lightweight window manager onto it (JWM, OpenBox, etc).

There's pre-made distros with this kind of setup, such as the WM setups on MX Linux.
