I'm having a tough time with Linux Mint and Debian on my low-end Lenovo Ideapad 1 15AMN7 (Type 82VG). I keep running into driver issues, especially with my WiFi. Here are my specs:
- CPU: R5 7520U with Radeon 610M
- RAM: 8GB
- 256GB SSD, dual-booting with Windows 10 (for work)
- WiFi: Realtek RTL8852BE WiFi 6
Could anyone suggest a more stable Linux distribution that should work better with my setup? Thanks!

Go for Zorin! It’s super user-friendly and should run well on your specs. You won't be disappointed!
Debian's pretty stable, but I’m curious, what specific driver problems are you running into? Maybe we can troubleshoot that.
You might want to try Lubuntu, I've had great success with it on older machines. A quick tip: consider using an Ethernet cable for the installation since it can help with driver issues, especially with WiFi.
If you're looking for something more stable, any Linux distro using the 6.2 kernel or higher should do the trick. I’d recommend beginner-friendly options like Mint, Ubuntu, or Zorin.
During the installation process, it’s a good idea to plug in an Ethernet cable. If your WiFi doesn't work after updating, using the 6.2 kernel should help you get the drivers sorted.
