Holy cow, I never knew that was a thing! Do you have one? I need a cheap laptop/tablet/something that runs well enough for PDFs with ~200 pages (for pen-and-paper RPGs) and that's about my only use case. My poor little lenovo T60 from 2007 is just not up to the task, even after I took Windows off and put on Mint.

You should be able to find similar hardware in Chromebooks as well... though not sure about PDF usage, they've been great for my parents/grandparents. Many of them you can load a full linux distro on.
Take Mint off too and try with Lubuntu or Antergos, the latter with the XFCE Desktop Environment (or OpenBox, but I never tried this one personally).
