Hey everyone, I'm looking for a cheap, old laptop to put Linux on and mess around with. I mainly want to see if I can find replacement software for some of the stuff I do on my Windows desktop, but maybe also some light gaming with Steam and Heroic launcher. I'd like to get some opinions on what brands/models I should be looking for on Craiglist/Ebay/etc.? Thanks!

lenovo thinkpad T-series, hp elitebook, dell latitude. those are business laptops, premium build, durable, easily serviceable, upgradeable, cross-generation/model parts compatible and widely available because their owners (business entities) swap out their entire fleet every 3-5 years and flood the 2nd hand market.
