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.
Update: Walked away with this Dell Inspiron i5 3520 with Best Buy’s black friday deal: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6553026.p
My cheap Acer with 4500u ryzen is pretty nice and fast. Try checking capability lists https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Category:Laptops
