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!

because it's a pain to set up offloading "muxing"

Do some research into how well they play together with muxing. It's AMD, but I'm not sure if it's more on the motherboard or what.

Certain games offload better than others for me, so it's not *exactly* the nvidia graphics card that's to blame for me, but whatever.
