Which laptop and distro would you recommend for a Linux newb (someone who has never used Linux)? Preferably hardware with decent battery life and isn’t horribly slow.

    While it might not be an issue anymore, just make sure you look up driver support for wireless for whatever laptop you choose.

    2 of the laptops I had in the past used a broadcom driver that was just a nightmare to setup on Linux

    There’s a good chance it’s not really a big deal anymore, but if you’re new to linux just double check that it’s not something you’ll run into.
