I have been using Windows my entire life, but since I got my Steam Deck I’ve been considering trying to get into Linux.

I obviously don’t have much of an idea where to begin, other than that I’m currently also trying to learn Javascript. I’d like a basic workstation I can code on and mess with, that doesn’t run more than a couple hundred. Could use some recommendations for hardware plus where to begin.

    Thinkpad T480 is the last of the good Thinkpads and should be more than your Budget

    Edit. Corrected typo.

      Too bad they don’t make the old keyboards anymore, last of those was the T#20 (T420, T520,etc) line. New one is still better than most, but the old one was hands down the best laptop keyboard

        That’s true. Nothing beats the 7-row. Luckily you can mod T480 with T25 keyboard if you can source the parts.
