I really like Debian, but for some reason my not-new-laptop didn’t liked it. Issues with suspend, the WiFi and the NVME drive made me to nuke it last Wednesday and in its place I installed Fedora, which seems to play better with the hardware. At least I don’t have problems with it in my desktop.

Been there, done that. It wasn’t a bad experience, but also not a good one.
A testing/sid hybrid is awesome on my hardware. These guides are pretty useful for keeping things sane:
