I'm thinking of get myself a second hand ThinkPad to slap an Arch on it, but don't know if is better get it now or wait (how much?) for the windows 11 apocalypse and get a better one, possibly cheaper.
I hear a lot on here about people getting used laptops for linux, can anyone point me in a direction to look for something that can be generally functional

Called the number and there's a lady on the other end asking if I want a fun time? What do I say chat?

My brain on drugs: bad, probably
My brain on thinkpads: almost certainly an improvement

I wish I went with a new T14 AMD instead of a Framework.

How so?

Poor fit and finish, difficult-to-reproduce USB problems, no physical trackpad buttons, among others
