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.

eBay has many used ThinkPads at pretty cheap prices. If I were you I'd look for one with a recent-ish AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7. Look for CPUs with model numbers in the format 4xxx or 5xxx. And try to get 16GB of RAM if you can.
Only Intel is there in my area.
Those would also be good.
