 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.
