I bought a very cheap N100 laptop that worked perfectly with EndeavourOS. If you don't need a not of gaming prowess, or massive storage I recommend something modest. PM me and I will send you a link, I just don't want to junk up the forum but 16 inch screen, 16gb of ram and a 512gb ssd and it is perfectly respectable, though the touchpad isn't great it does work in Linux, I just think the design is a little too tight. I will agree that a lot of laptops work fine and you can "test" them with a USB stick instead of going through the full installation.

 

Some love it, some hate it,some have never tried it alone (though is on almost all flavored "snack" chips, Doritos, etc). If you like it, or think is "ok, but a little blah" try adding some smoked paprika, and or a little cayenne pepper. If you don't love "smoke" flavor OR heat just a little of either can intensify it a bit, or a lot with more and you may find it becoming a good low or no salt table or cooking seasoning that works for a lot of things around the kitchen or at the table. Add garlic, onion, etc. all to one jar/shaker as a good all-purpose seasoning base.

If you treat cast iron with the same care that a non stick pan requires with just a little bit of oil it will be better over time. With those same instructions an average non-stick pan, used daily will degrade in 5 to 10 years. Iron is heavy and inconvenient, but carbon steel pans run 90% of the Michelin rates kitchens you will find. Cast iron can do much of the same work at home and, in the US is much easier to find. A 10 inch Lodge cast iron pan can be found in any X-mart. A 10 inch Matfer Bourgeat is a bit pricier and harder to source. Good luck with pan fried fish in a non stick pan after a month. Same with cooking 40 burgers or omelets a day for a month. 2 of the items I mentioned could do that easily. The average non-stick pan could not.

Given the recent Dutch election I suspect trade unions may not be participating...
