Can you help me find a small Linux laptop?

Post date: 2020-02-17 12:05:56

I want a small (11.6-inch) laptop mostly for word processing, email, and streaming music. I've been using a Chromebook but would like to try a Linux computer this time. I need it to be light weight, with decent battery life and a good, clear screen, below $500. Is this a thing?

I know that people often boot Linux onto computers with different operating systems. But I don't love Windows, Mac or Chromebook and would like to try something less corporate. If that doesn't make sense (wanting a Linux-only device) maybe you can tell me why not?

Not sure if it's relevant in an age when many Linux devices seem noob-friendly, but the most high-tech thing I've done is root Android phones.

Thanks for your help, Linux-friendly AskMe!
