Very cool, thanks!
What other distros than Alpine uses doas by default?
You grab your biggest usb stick and install a tool Ventoy2Disk into it: https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_ventoy2disk.html
Then you never re-format again, but just drag and drop any .iso-file you want to try. You can try any Linux distro in live mode without installing anything into your computer before you found your favorite distro.
Try at least these, Pop_OS!: https://pop.system76.com/
Linux Mint: https://linuxmint.com/download.php
If you don't have Nvidia gpu, then try LMDE5 instead and here's why: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=374128
Fedora KDE: https://spins.fedoraproject.org/kde/
If you want something totally different and fully keyboard driven distro (docs reading is mandatory), Manjaro Sway: https://manjaro-sway.download/
At this point it is only about the looks you like the most.
I noticed this driver crapware by updating the mobo bios I bought used. Luckily MSI has a rollback tool lol.
My i5-2500K had a nice GUI bios with 16 mbit bios chip. Including UEFI and Secureboot and other modern features.
Haha no problem. My 50%-pro photographer friend has used Linux only since 2018 and that's why I asked.
Actually even better news! T440p supports now libreboot and it has an option for internal flashing! So from now on you have only excuses left ;) lol

Lot's of things in computing should be simplified. Especially bios firmware / boot process. It has become overly complicated mess offering zero value for anybody. In 10 years the bios chip size has increased from 8 mbit to 256 mbit and no features added. Only TPM 2.0 has been added, but it is another chip than bios.
Doesn't Darktable work for you?
It's fairly safe process and teaches lots of new skills for you. You can use even Raspberry Pi 1 for it. Just build the image with computer and not RasPi.
The guide is just 12 mins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqjsM18pKCE&pp=ygUXQ29yZWJvb3QgVGhpbmtwYWQgVDQ0MHA%3D
It also deserves the Coreboot bios :)
This is a tragedy.
