I’m a 3rd year CS student and mainly do web development + DSA (Java/C++).

Thinking of switching from Windows to Linux for better performance and development experience.

Need something:

lightweight and smooth

beginner friendly

good battery life

stable for VS Code, Java, Node.js, Docker, browsers, etc.good for daily college use

What would you recommend and why? Also any setup tips for webdev/DSA are welcome.
