My Samsung has been great, but it's about 10 years old. Nothing wrong with it, it just seems sluggish now a days. I've been reading a lot about Linux operating systems in GD.  Is there a laptop in the $200-$400 price range that runs Linux? My only real wish is I get a full keyboard, but that is not a deal breaker. All I use it for is surfing the web, watching movies from time to time and that's about it. Nothing fancy. Thanks for the help in advance!

PS. I am a completely ignorant person when it comes to tech stuff. Please talk to me like I'm 5!

But you want a laptop that runs Linux...

Its not super hard to learn how to use it as a user, but its not something I'd expect someone with no tech pc knowledge to pic up and run with...
But, on the other hand, what better way to learn that just jumping in.
