I didn't want to get into why I chose a specific distro, but given that your question is about compatibility, I should mention I'm having a great experience on a Thinkpad T480 running Fedora 30. I haven't run into a single hardware compatibility challenge using the two together. Be sure to dive into the compatibility list mentioned in the article for the best user experience!
I skipped on mentioning my distro because I'm with you–the message is more about being curious again and stepping out of the well-known stack I've been in for a while. Since most Linux distros have GNOME for a GUI, it's all about customizing to your preference. I'll be writing more on how I got to a good set up next time. Thanks for sharing your experience M!
