I’m running GNU/Linux on this thing, so far is extremely responsive and working great, even with my already configured OS. Honestly, since my previous old iMac died, this is the best computer I had for a while, I had to survive with Raspberry Pis and even older laptops.
It might surprise you but my main laptop is a 9yr old thinkpad, even tho I have newer ones. Of course it can run win10, I daily drive linux but occasionally use windows from a usb ssd enclosure (installed with winTousb). I bought it almost as a joke 4-5yrs ago, but upgrade after upgrade (the screen especially which was crap) it became too good to replace lol
What’s the use case for a 9-year old Lenovo notebook? Not trying to be snarky, legitimately curious. Can it run Windows 10?

What distro are you using and why?
For now Ill be using Garuda, because I wanted to play things from steam and this one is already configured for that.
Maybe Ill use something else in the future.
that honestly sounds brutal
