Tried open suse, but on my laptop it was slow and loud and the battery would die almost instantly (had to make it hibernate rather than suspend if I wanted it to make it through the night).
Installed Debian 13 and it feels like a new laptop. Not sure what exactly made the difference between the two but I’m not complaining…
I’ve had a similar problem trying to install Debian 12 in the past…
Turned out it was the USB drive, I think.
It didn’t have a problem booting and installing Mint, but with Debian it just wouldn’t boot. A different drive and it worked right away and flawlessly.

Oh shit. I’m better at installing Linux than Linus. That’s freaking amazing!
