I'm thinking of buy a Lenovo Thinkpad X230 for $225. I own a copy of Linux in a Nutshell 5th ed. which I bought for 25 cents at a goodwill. Is there any advice or suggestions someone can give me before I pull the trigger? I am a beginner in linux, although I did get mint running on an old laptop a few years back.
edit: I ended up buying a Thinkpad x250. I am excited.
Thank you for the advice, but I don't fully understand. Are there multiple models of the Thinkpad x230 each with potentially different driver support?
From what I can see on their product page, it lists 5 different wifi devices. I think most computers usually only have 1, but I could be missing something. The Arch wiki is a start.
This will be a useful resource. I appreciate it.
