    While you were out chasing booty, I studied the bootloader. While you were partying, I mastered the fstab

    I tried buying a used thinkpad and putting Linux on it, but then it stopped charging correctly after 2 weeks. So I went back on adhd meds and got a new job and turned my life around.

    I’m just gonna promote the benefits of therapy. I learned to love myself. I think this meme is about hating yourself, so I think it fits. Only semi-serious, no hate intended.

      I think it is more about rage control than about loving or hating oneself. Like stopping yourself from chucking the laptop halfway across the room when it doesn't boot because you misspelled a variable in a config file.

    I am unsure, I feel like Google is watching me and selling my data to OP because I was only yesterday ogling a Thinkpad Yoga X1 precisely for this purpose.

    Unlike therapy, installing Arch on a Thinkpad works more often than not

    woman would take care for a literal horse instead of going to therapy. i don't see anything wrong there either.

    just a horse is way more expensive, cannot be put aside for a week on vacations (could a notebook be put aside?) and one cannot make backups of horses or carry them with you when visiting friends. Horses are way more cute, though.

    postin' from my 4th gen X1 Carbon running arch converted from antergos.

    So what the ram is soldered, its 4lbs and still gets 7+ hours of battery life after 8 years of use.

    i own four xx20 series thinkpads. One of which has debian with i3wm, the other three dont have anything installed atm. Sue me ik.

    xx20 series is the best tbh. The only thing maybe arguably better is x80 series, due to the more modern processors and actual features over the xx20 series. xx40

    my w520 with an i7 2720qm or whatever the fuck is it is is genuinely better than any intel mobile cpu that isn't quad core. AND it's socketed.

    looking for a cheap xx40s (or p it's whichever one is better i cant remember) just for the completion, as well as an xx80 just to have one with more modern hardware, but my xx20 is everything i'll need in a laptop tbh. I would also like to get an x220 at some point.

    naming legend for anybody wondering.

    • x - model type, w, t, x, etc
    • x - the device type, 4, 5, 2, etc usually screen size related
    • n - device model? Release related.
    • n - 0, just the number zero, anything that isn't a zero is e waste im pretty sure.

        i've heard, but honestly, is there anything interesting about them other than the like 2% performance uplift? And the fact that batteries are only semi-compatible between them. I suppose they might be more power efficient? I have no clue, if you have any knowledge it would be appreciated.

        My w520 with 4 cores still smokes anything that isn't like 9th gen mobile in terms of multi core. Thanks intel very cool.

    Damn I've done this stuff. Even installed Gentoo on Raspberry Pi 400 for no reason. Maybe I'm not taking the right meds?
