The very brief summary: You need 7 perms on directories to write to them. So, 774, 770, or what have you for user/group perms.

I have Arch running on an old Acer chromebook, different model but similar hardware. If you’re alright with some manual configuration, then it’s a good option. it fits the lightweight requirement, but not sure about low maintenance.
You should write a post if you do. Would be funny!
I mean yeah, Hexchat does work pretty well and is kind of finished. But it’s possible there are existing security vulnerabilities or new ones to be discovered in the future.
Just to let you know, Hexchat is no longer maintained, unless someone has forked it. Might be worth looking into alternatives.
You generally want to use a model which has been fine tuned to work around the inbuilt censorship. There are plenty available on huggingface currently. It’s not a perfect solution, but works well enough for what it is.
I would suggest using the llama.cpp backend with a frontend of your choosing.
I would get a Thinkpad, either used or new, with that budget. Generally all the hardware will work out of the box, with the possible exception of the fingerprint reader if it exists. RAM and SSD should be replaceable, so if you purchase new just do the upgrade yourself to save some bucks.
