Hi, I’m currently on a MacBook Air M2 8/256 and I’m running out of disk space. System is too large. I love macOS but I’d love to try out something new, such as Fedora and maybe switch to Fedora long-term.

I want to buy any computer (specs don’t matter) as long as it can smoothly run Brave Browser (10 to 20 tabs), VS Code, Terminal, Discord all in parallel on Fedora (preferred) or Ubuntu. The only requirement is that it’s cheap, can be refurbished. I have no preference for arm64 or amd64

Budget: 150$.

If this is out of scope, please disregard my request

update: a friend offered me his MacBook for a really good price

    i recently bought a thinkpad t420 for about 50$ and a new battery for 30, it only has 4 gb of ram, so i think that would be a bit too small for your purposes, but i don’t think it is an unreasonable idea to find something with a bit more memory for a bit more
    i’m no laptop expert, but thinkpads have a good reputation, i’ve seen fujitsu-s are repair friendly too
    search 2nd hand markets available to you, fb marketplace (i know, but it works)
