I’m looking to mainly use it for school and was wondering if there’s any recommended distros out there for thinkpads.

Its a Lenovo Thinkpad T480.

      The question is so generic and open ended it’s not a surprise. The only filter on this is “runs well on ThinkPad” and “lightweight”, which are both up to interpretation

    With 8 GB of RAM and 5500 CPU passmark points, that’s a good laptop for Linux Mint. Download their “edge” version of Mint, so you get the latest kernel (so it has more chances of supporting 100% that laptop).

    If you need to ask for a distro the answer is Mint, if you didn’t need to ask the answer might be different, but then you wouldn’t be asking.
