seriously considering buying a cheap second hand laptop for trying out new distros and otherwise fucking around with linux so i dont have to mess with my actual main setup

#i could also buy a pi but then I'd be restricted to distros that support arm #and also I'd still need to get a monitor and keyboard (and a mouse ig depending on what I'm trying out) but im sure i can find some #where can i find the cheapest crappiest bricked laptops that are not hard to repair #im sure a lot of them could be 'repaired' by just installing linux on them in the first place lol #I took a quick look on ebay and found a listing for £50 with lowkey better specs than my actual laptop...#but £50 is still a lot of money to be spending on a whim I'd need to justify it :/
