I bought this machine a P16s Gen 2 AMD with 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SS a halfway through an Electronic Engineering degree, I know it would be heresy not to install Linux, but certain programs as fusion and proteus you know autoCAD tools don't run outside of Windows.I want a Linux distribution for leisure and entertainment but I want to know which distribution you recommend for this ThinkPad, I already tried mint, zorin and ubuntu maybe, at most I'll finish metro Exodus; I've owed it to myself for a while to wrap up Artyom's trilogy, but that'll have to wait until the end of the year.

The old laptop is an HP laptop model 14-cf3028la, I upgraded its RAM and SSD back in the day.
