I have tried my moms windows laptop and i hated it. I need a laptop for linux but i don’t know what laptop to buy so can anyone recommend a cheap laptop that works well with linux? I also don’t know what linux distro to use, Linux mint? Zorin OS? Ubuntu?

    You can use about any laptop with Linux. I would say take a current laptop and boot into a distro using a live usb. This will let you try it without installing it. You do occasionally run into issues with some hardware: fingerprint, wifi, trackpad, etc. So this is a good test.

    But otherwise if you want a laptop that guarantees Linux support: Framework, System76, Tuxedo
