I took a bunch of stuff from work that was gonna get recycled including a decent laptop and a flash drive. I work in network admin and IT if that narrows it down. Never used Linux before though.
Edit: Thanks everyone! I'm down for some problem solving so I think I'm gonna go the Arch/Manjaro direction so I can learn my way around Linux generally.
Debian's my daily driver. Never felt the need to use anything else, only ever encountered Debian & Redhat in the wild (work), other than IBM AIX or something old as shit.
