Best Laptop for Linux

Hello all,

I'm in the market for buying a new laptop to install Linux on. I'm trying to stay with something relatively cheap (Around $300 and below). I'm getting ready to start a degree program in cyber security and did some research, and it seems Kali Linux would be the best distro for me to install.

I would install it on my current computer, but I only have a 2015 MacBook Pro, and I've read that a few people run into some issues installing on a Mac compared to a regular PC.

With the above in mind, do I need to increase my budget or does Linux run fine on low-end laptops?

Thanks!

  • Ive had an excellent time with the thinkpad e14 w/ ryzen 5500u. Worked flawlessly with both void and gentoo. Same drivers and config as any ryzen based desktop CPU.

    Best part is the price - you can snag one used for 300~ USD and it can do everything my desktop can save for cutting edge AAA gaming or server hosting
