From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Very high spec for the money, old hardware but still far more powerful than many modern laptops that are more expensive
You're not going to be running cyberpunk at 4k on it but for all of the things you mentioned it won't even break a sweat
Just make sure you pay attention to the specs because there are different builds of them with different amounts of memory, GPU and screen resolution I believe
