Its a Lenovo Thinkpad T480.

I used antix for my laptop. Its the most lightweight. I also used Debian on it. Mine is also lenovo. If you want real lightweight use antix I guess.

Ever given MX a spin on it?

No. I went for antix. Before it ran on manjaro for years. Moved to different distro like last year cause of some hardware issue. Might still go back to it.

I wanted something very light on the laptop. Mx is fine I guess. But I went ahead with antix at the time.
