I can't seem to get rid of my T410; it's a boat anchor compared to
the newer models, but I love the keyboard. It's got an i7, the only
real issue is that it maxxes out at 8 GB of RAM. I'd love it if I
could get it up to 16.
I have a 16gb T480 from work, they are nice systems.

ESXi and Proxmox are bare metal virtualization platforms. ESXi is
from VMware and free for home use, Proxmox has a community edition
and a paid support, enterprise edition. Both boot up on bare hardware
and let you run virtual machines without needing the overhead of a
full OS like running VirtualBox or VMware Workstation/Player on
Windows or Linux.
