I don’t want to spoil the video if no one has seen it, but all i got to say is one word: Malevolent.

If i’m not mistaken I don’t think that Fedora will be affected because Fedora is upstream from RHEL. Now distros such as Alma, Rocky, and EuroLinux may be affected because they are downstream from RHEL. But I can be wrong.

There are several options. Alma/Rocky, Fedora, Debian, BSD, just to name a few.

You can put Ubuntu on a 15 year old laptop, but it will be extremely slow. Lubuntu or Xubuntu would better suit the laptop.

I’m using LibreOffice at the moment.
