I have my wife’s old Lenovo x1 carbon. It’s probably eight years old or so now. What would you recommend I run on it? Thinking of just stripping it down and making it a little Plex server so I can get that off of my main computer

What are the specs? Chances are that most distros will run fine.

I need to pull it out but probably 256gb SSD and 8gb ram if I had to guess. Maybe an i5 of some gen

For server I’d stick with Debian

Server is a generous description of Plex lol but noted.
