Can you install any Linux with just using an ISO on an SD card?

Yeah for Intel-based.
Id stay away from the new Apple Silicon ones, at least for another 5 years

I'd check compatibility issues for whatever linux distro first. Expect missing drivers, etc.
I'd recommend dell latitude if you don't want to use a mac computer. Also affordable, easy to upgrade, and a bonus UPS.

Thanks, that's why I was leaning towards Intel.
