Sell Me on Linux

I posted this as a comment in another post but when I got done I realized it would probably just be better as its own post. I’m sure I could find the answers I need myself but frankly I trust the userbase here more than most online articles....

If your budget is tight, get a used/refurb, but recent model Thinkpad (T or P series) from EBay. Install Linux Mint (I say Debian Edition, since that is Mint’s future). It comes with LibreOffice preinstalled. You may want to install standard Microsoft fonts, which aren’t included for licensing reasons. You can search for how do do this.

This is exactly my experience as well. I started using Linux in 2007 with Ubuntu ‘Feisty Fawn’. I have used Arch, Fedora, Debian, Manjaro and a few others as daily drivers over the years, but have used Mint almost exclusively for the past 7-8 years. Recently also switched to the Debian edition. My servers mostly run Debian, but sometimes Ubuntu.
