I’m looking to mainly use it for school and was wondering if there’s any recommended distros out there for thinkpads.
Its a Lenovo Thinkpad T480.
ITT: Every distro
The question is so generic and open ended it’s not a surprise. The only filter on this is “runs well on ThinkPad” and “lightweight”, which are both up to interpretation
I have been using a t450 for the past 5 years as my only pc. For about 4 years I used Arch without any major issues, but my “optimizations” became too much to maintan. For the past year I’ve been using Kinoite and it’s brilliant.
Everything runs good enough out of the box and in my daily use I haven’t noticed that I’m running a 9 year old machine. I even play games that should have no business running on that crusty old thing. Also, the stability is divine.
If you need to ask for a distro the answer is Mint, if you didn’t need to ask the answer might be different, but then you wouldn’t be asking.
