I’d argue that for Nvidia and their drivers management there are better choices, such as Manjaro.

Although on desktop I didn’t have any problems, laptop with AMD iGPU and Nvidia dGpu, prime etc. It’s really a PITA on Fedora.

AMD 9070 on Wayland and Plasma isn’t perfect neither.

Hard pass for me.

Take what you have, start small and learn from it.

Old laptops are great, because they have low power consumption and even pretty used up battery will give you power redundancy.

Even a 10yo laptop is something with 4-5th gen Core cpu and that has plenty of power to get you started.
