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
Everything is telling me that this is obviously fake and there’s no way it could exist, but there’s a small part of me saying “there’s someone out there that would do this…” Like a 25 pin serial to USB adapter.
