    On the flip side of this, can people tell me which models are “e-waste” but are actually powerful when you pop Linux onto them? It’d be nice to scoop up some deals on eBay.

      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.
