Hey everyone, I’m looking for a cheap, old laptop to put Linux on and mess around with. I mainly want to see if I can find replacement software for some of the stuff I do on my Windows desktop, but maybe also some light gaming with Steam and Heroic launcher. I’d like to get some opinions on what brands/models I should be looking for on Craiglist/Ebay/etc.? Thanks!


I personally love old commercial laptops like Dell Latitudes and Lenovo ThinkPads. I’ve damn near decade old laptops still chugging away with nothing more than a fresh battery and an SSD upgrade
