Just buy an old Lenovo & flash with an easy to use Linux distro like mint.

Peasy

I know about Linux. Been using different distros for years. It does have the tendency to crash with updates I find. Was considering trying Windows for reliability but not sure if any better there days. Old Lenovo is a good idea.

Even if you stick with windows just make sure you're happy with the RAM capability & just upgrade it.

Will work better than expected.

i havent used windows in years but from what i hear its worse than ever

That da fookin props advice

Windows is allright for an average user. Not very popular decision but it is what it is…

If you can grab some older Thinkpad, you’ll be ok.

If you’re from Europe, I can make you a deal on refurbished Lenovo Thinkpads.

Awful, it deserves to be thrown out of itself.

Slow and bloated. But WSL - Windows Subsystem for Linux is quite nice TBH. Also known as Windows suck less.
