Me? Thanks, if so.

I'm a hobbyist computer programmer (mostly Python, but some other things to a much lesser degree). I'm really into computer software generally (and I use Xubuntu Linux as my OS of choice), but I don't know much about computer hardware (other than some basic specs for traits I like), and I know even less about electronics. I have a sibling who's fairly well-versed in stuff like that, though.

I'm using Kubuntu for now but I want to try Arch Linux. Each OS seems to make my T440s emit different amounts of RF. Ubuntu has been the best so far. Windows is quite terrible.

I've been programming for more than half of my life.. I can't use any external monitor for long. Just my laptop, and I use safety glasses when using any LED monitors, it helps a lot. Any cheap plastic safety glasses seem to work, I think there is a small amount of UV coming out of the LEDs that the glasses block.
Blue light blocking glasses should help similarly.
