That's not necessarily the problem here.
Normally, Fedora would boot on both types of systems, too. However, OP wants to copy an already-existing UEFI install or at least the config to a legacy system, not (necessarily) to find a distro that could be installed from a normal live installer on both boot types.
Thus the Nix recommendations, as theoretically, one centralized config could be copied between systems to create a similar environment on different systems.
I just discovered the source of all your problems by reading your previous post.
The Surface Go 1 is a UEFI system. The Acer Aspire 5737z is a legacy BIOS system and thus can't boot UEFI partitions. If your Aspire was a UEFI system, what you did probably would have worked just fine - no need for a special snazzy distro (no offense, NixOS users).
I'm actually extremely surprised no one noticed this before me.
From here, you have a few routes:
What themes do you have installed, and which theme are you trying to switch to? Also, can you confirm what distro and DE you're using as well as any major customizations so I can try and replicate the problem in an Arch VM, please?
Before I continue, you should probably specify your budget explicitly.
With that said, almost anything older than a few years should do what you need to just fine. I have a Lenovo Yoga 710 from 2016 that works decent, and had an old Fujitsu Lifebook from 2010 that wasn't too shabby as well. Heck, I once booted Linux off a cheap piano black Toshiba laptop originally made for Vista.
Just choose a random old laptop and you'll most likely be good.
Question: What are you developing?
With that said, NixOS would probably be fine, if not better than fine. From what I can tell, I don't think Guix would be a good idea - the packages appear out of date, according to their package manager. They're still on Python 3.10.
However, I might recommend Debian Testing to you for your purposes. Most of the time, packages are pretty recent, maybe a few months old at the most (sometimes just a few weeks), but you still get most of the stability of regular Debian. The only asterisk is when the freeze happens. I think apt may have gotten some updates as well.
I've been using it on my desktop PC for over two-and-a-half years. I will say I have grown a bit weary of it, as it gets so many updates and software changes so fast. On my laptop, I went with stable and plan to switch or stable on my desktop once Trixie gets stable.
In brief, Testing isn't bad. I'd almost recommend a development VM.
Besides cheating and choosing a Star Trek novel, I can think of several.
Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl might not be a bad one. Almost no matter who I chose, I'd have a comfortable life style.
Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn would be miserable to live in, but if I was a character with allomancy, that might be acceptable.
Additionally, I think 3.18 onward doesn't even support theming engines. As said, though, GIMP is stuck on GTK2.
If you're having a lot of trouble, perhaps just go with the Flatpak.
No. GTK 3 was a breaking change, and so was 4.
Please specify:
Based on your host name, I'm assuming it's Arch. From what I can tell from the terminal output, Ghostscript is missing (thus the libgs.so error). Maybe try reinstalling it with Pacman. Did you update your system and it somehow got autoremoved (I don't know Arch that well)?
Actually, according to LD:Twovix, didn't it become a museum ship?
I almost had a panic attack until I realized this was for UBlock Origin Lite rather than the normal, manifest v2 version. Still mad at Mozilla,though.
Definitely yes.
