hardware? i just use my spare $200 laptop? will it run 100+mods for like 8ppl no lag? i just dont wanna pay $50/monthly for a server when i already have my $200 chromebook lying around. which linux distro do i use? i saw they use something in linux's vid

i cannot find a correct tutorial on how to host a minecraft server.. i saw their video but they didnt really show how to host, they just threw a bunch of pc parts together and it worked.. can you guys either help me or point me into the right directions? i just wanna host modded minecraft for me and my friends. probably modspacks for like 15 max. i dont even have that much friends thats just an estimate. idk what i need at all. please i just wanna play minecrfaft.
