I'm on a tight budget and need to find a really cheap laptop to bring on trips and for school. I'd like to run Linux on it and do some very light gaming. Any suggestions?

Have you thought about checking out local IT repair shops? They sometimes have old laptops they plan to discard, and you might get lucky and snag one for free! Just make sure to ask around.
If you're open to alternatives, consider using an Android tablet. You can run Linux apps through Termux and pair it with a Bluetooth keyboard. You can find affordable tablets for around $35. Just a thought!
Thanks for the suggestion! I did think about a tablet, but I really want a laptop. Plus, if I try to use a tablet like a laptop, it might end up losing some of its original functionality.
That's a great idea! It might not work out everywhere though. In my country, people tend to hold onto their old stuff forever unless it's completely unusable, so just keep that in mind!
