From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You're probably better off looking for hardware to meet your spec requirements and then looking into its Linux support.
Older thinkpads would come to mind, usually a good option. Generally affordable, repairable, and can be good for Linux.
Sub 13 inch thinkbooks are low-spec school laptops AFAIK.
Not the X series, they come in i5 and i7 variant.
And they are sub 13 inch?
Yes, 12.5
You never specified what specs you want/require
Yeah you're right. I need a powerful machine with over 10gb of ram for fhd video editing and web browsing.
