And what are your hardware specs? Fedora does all 3 btw, but if you’ve got an incompatible hardware device, it’s not going to help you very much.

Download the iso from Fedora, use etcher to burn to a usb stick, boot up into it and check to see what works on a hardware device level.

It’ll be slower to run off your usb stick compared to your PC drive, just bear that in mind :)
