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.

    I had a Thinkpad T440s that had a ridiculous battery life. I think I picked I picked it up on eBay for like $300 4 or 5 years ago. I tinkered with it and ended up breaking it and didn’t have time to put it back together/fixed up but that thing was a dream. I have a “desktop replacement” PC that’s huge and unwieldly and I wish I just kept my T440s with an upgraded display and like 4 days of battery life.
