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 have a Dell Inspiron 2in1 running Linux Mint. 10th gen Intel i7. Works well for 90% of things I want. Some games lag a bit but most games I play are from 10 years ago, so idk how it handles more modern games. Looking them up on ebay, one can be had for $250-$350. Pretty cheap price to have a dedicated Linux machine. I’m not a fan of dual booting.
