I have a couple thinkpads loaded with windows 11 pro, would it benefit me to switch them over to Linux? Would I be able to use all the essential programs (or equivalent programs) that I would need to cover all my bases?

Edit: I should probably include that I'm a complete noob as far as Linux goes. I have a decent handle on computers in the general but have never been close to being any sort of computer enthusiast. Basically, I understand what terminal is but have only used it with direct instruction.

What are the specific model numbers or specs? That's the deciding factor.

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Intel i5-7500u @ 2.50GHz

8gb ram

64 bit x64-based processor

Does that tell you what you need?

Need the specific Thinkpad model #. Should be on the bottom.
