I’m looking to mainly use it for school and was wondering if there’s any recommended distros out there for thinkpads.

Its a Lenovo Thinkpad T480.

    With 8 GB of RAM and 5500 CPU passmark points, that’s a good laptop for Linux Mint. Download their “edge” version of Mint, so you get the latest kernel (so it has more chances of supporting 100% that laptop).

      This @cheezits@lemmy.ca! I run Linux Mint on a T410 with 4 GB of Ram and a 250 GB SSD and the user experience is quite ok for normal day to day usage like playing light games, browsing and HD video streaming.

      DE is more important than distro in regards to RAM. Ubuntu runs on a pi, it should be good on any computer
