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.

      E: old thinkpad gang input: take the time to reapply thermal grease to the cpu at some point. It makes a huge difference.

      What’s a “gang input”?

      😂 it’s an input to this discussion from a member of the group of people (“gang”) who have experience with old thinkpads. and yes, if your old thinkpad (or other laptop) is overheating and crashing, reapplying the thermal paste is a good next step after cleaning the fans.
