I’d like to spend around 250 euro, and for the os linux is ok. Thanks for the help. P.S. sry if the sub doesn’t fit but I didn’t know where to post this P.P.S. sry for bad english

    Chromebooks are pretty cheap, and basically made for college students to take notes and watch youtube. You can dual boot linux on them pretty easy.

      It’s not even a dual boot. You can enable a linux access from ChromeOS that is essentially the full install. Shell access as well as GUI apps.

      I have used it with a lot of success. The initial startup of the sandbox is a bit slow and I seemed to run out of space quickly on mine but for light work it’s definitely usable.
