Those of you who use Linux on a laptop, which laptop do you use? I’ve been thinking of buying a new laptop to replace my current ageing macbook and would love to run Linux on it.

    I didn’t even know that the thinkpad was such a popular choice for Linux, but I bought a used x121e thinkpad laptop a while back because I needed something small for school. Windows was horrendous on it, so that’s how I got into Linux! Even on this old and not very powerful hardware, Linux Lite and Lubuntu ran quite nicely, but recently I switched to a very barebones arch install which is very streamlined and lasts an hour longer than my Linux lite install. So even a shitty laptop will work very well (especially with an SSD), which is great for your wallet!
