I recently replaced my 2014 thinkpad with a newer thinkpad and put Linux on it. The slowest part was downloading the ISO. Everything just works out of the box. If you could use windows 7, you can use Linux.
(I recommend EndeavourOS but Ubuntu or Mint are often considered easier)
Just FYI: I just put Ubuntu on an older laptop. I had a problem with streaming video, they kept stuttering. The fix, as far as I can tell, is to run XORG instead of Weyland. (Select on bottom right of log-in screen, where it asks for password.)
But yeah, I'm almost there. Replaced Google with Proton (paid service, but worth it to be out of Google's ecosystem, and there's free options, too, I think). Just need to decide on a secure browser and phase out my existing accounts.
Feels good, man. Feels so fucking good to be moving in the right direction.
