Can someone suggest a very stable, low-maintenance Linux distro that also won’t hold me back? by gyro in c/linux4noobs@lemmy.world

Debian 12 (bookworm):

Works without having to troubleshoot all the time - Check
Reliable - Check
Customize and install pretty much everything available - Half Check - Since the kernel is from 2022, you won't have the latest versions of some software (eg. KDE), and some features will not be available (eg. changing CPU operation mode)- Unless you develop applications for Linux, or need a specific feature, it shouldn't be a problem.

I cannot get Turbo Boost working on Linux for my Intel Kaby Lake R processor (i7-8650u), always below 10W, 2.1GHz. Current throttling. #Surface #Laptop by gyro in c/linux4noobs@lemmy.world

My previous reply was erroneus. There are reports of those processors working properly, so they probably are fully supported on linux. I suggest you keep at it.

The first response of this thread has some other things to try: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1329587/intel-core-i7-8550u-cpu-frequency-drops-on-high-loads-on-ubuntu-20-04

First, install the OS. Then, install SSH and configure it. Watch a tutorial for it, it's not the simplest thing in the world. If you need not only terminal but also graphical access, then install and configure a VNC or RDP client, the tutorial is probably going to cover this though.

If you just want to learn linux though, it makes more sense to install it on a virtual machine in your windows system, or even on a separate partition.
