I have been using Windows my entire life, but since I got my Steam Deck I’ve been considering trying to get into Linux.

I obviously don’t have much of an idea where to begin, other than that I’m currently also trying to learn Javascript. I’d like a basic workstation I can code on and mess with, that doesn’t run more than a couple hundred. Could use some recommendations for hardware plus where to begin.

    I’m adding to the pile of Linux Mint recommendations, though I recommend the XFCE version, as it’s lightweight. For hardware, if you want a laptop, definitely go with a refurbished ThinkPad. If you’re wanting a desktop, look for something cheap and used. If you aren’t gaming, the specs aren’t super important
