How to install on Ubuntu: my solution
Btw. if you're installing from pip anyway, I HIGHLY recommend using git master's version (pip install git+https://github.com/qtile/qtile). It's very stable and it contains a lot of improvements, features and - mostly important - bug fixes, especially because the fact that the last 0.22.1 release is almost one year old. The current master works fine with xcffib 1.4 and cairocffi 1.6 (the newest possible versions).

docs.qtile.org down? Any information to be found?
I think yesterday qtile.org itself seemed to be working properly. Now it is also offline.

Did you see the changelog? https://github.com/qtile/qtile/blob/master/CHANGELOG

my terminal gone ? setings gone etc..i just remove python
You need to have xcffib in version 1.3.0 and you probably have 1.4.0. You also need cairocffi 1.5.1 and you probably have 1.6.0, so it will fail as the next step. Install correct versions or wait until https://github.com/qtile/qtile/pull/4289 is merged.

How fedora workstation will run on this laptop?
Hello 👋, I use Gnome for my ThinkPad it works nice for me. But giving your ram I would suggest a window manager like Qtile which I prefer and I am about move from Gnome to it when I finish my configurations. But if you want something which will be usable out of the box Xfce is a nice choice too as people mentioned above. 😁😁 Here is the link to GitHub for Qtile if you want to give it a glance https://github.com/qtile/qtile
