My daily driver right now is an old Lenovo Ideapad (50-70 I think) with EndeavourOS, I have a few other assorted Thinkpads and Ideapads running mainly EOS or Arch, and home servers running Arch. I use Arch btw.
The “backup” laptops are flexible though, I distro-hop on them fairly often. Older Lenovos are usually great for Linux compatibility.
