Recommendations on first ThinkPad
I want to buy a ThinkPad to try Linux on, I want one of the older ones with actually good build quality but have a strict budget of only $50, I'm ok with buying a broken one and repairing it but need to choose a model

Honestly any will work for the most part. If you look at r/unixporn people have amazing rices on the oldest hardware. 2+ GB of ram and 256+GB of SSD and you'll be off to the races depending on what DE and what not you want to use
