    I can give you some easy tips for this.

    • Does it run windows 7 or higher, if so it will work fine with most distros for basic stuff.
    • Does it have a dedicated GPU, if so google the card to check if your chosen distro has easy support for it (almost any card can work, but some are painless).
    • Does it power on and was made this millennia, if so it can work in some way with Linux.

      That’s some good guidelines but I was really curious what the absolute newest hardware that is Win 11 incompatible is. I’d imagine whenever that goes off-lease at large companies there will be piles of them on eBay and other secondary markets.
