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.

Thinkpad X280?
LENOVO ThinkPad X280 12.5 LCD Ultrabook - Intel Core i5 (8th Gen) i5-8250U Quad-core (4 Core) 1.60 GHz - 8 GB DDR4 SDRAM - 256 GB SSD - Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (English) - (Renewed) Title https://a.co/d/4ylP22d
Yeah I just saw some people on Reddit recommended this one. Checks all the boxes except for weight, but a very good option anyway. Thanks.
Fwiw I used to daily an x210 and then an x230 in IT and pretty frequently typed with one hand while carrying with another without the weight bugging me but your mileage may vary.
You can definitely send them flying and not damage them my coworker launched theirs across the office and the bezel just snapped back together.
I have a T480 now since I do more dev work and needed a slightly bigger keyboard/screen and it's phenomenal with Qubes and 48gb of memory on the quad core i5. Love the ease to repair I just swapped a motherboard on it in around 30 minutes and was back up and running
Latitude 5290 has the same CPU and upgradability of a t480, but no trackpoint. Build quality is great (from my experience) and it's under 200€ used.
