On that ThinkPad, LMDE.

Oh god, I got Murena (LineageOS distro). How does one install that onto a ThinkPad T480…

For devices I need to be productive on, I have LMDE 6. It is rock solid being based on stable Debian, but with the niceties you expect from Mint.

For my gaming PC, I’ve got Bazzite on it and so far so good. Just used it for entertainment and gaming but if I were doing coding or app development I’d either have to adjust how I do that to suit an atomic distro, or I’d just use LMDE as I feel I have easier control of what I’m doing on there

I got a server from ewaste because the RAID card did fail and having SAS drives they couldn’t even pull data from it with anything else. It was the domain controller and NAS so as you can imagine, very disruptive to the business. As they should they had an offsite backup of the system and so we just restored onto a gaming PC as a temporary solution until we moved them to M365 instead.

I just use software RAID on it now and so far so good for about 180 days.

My thoughts exactly seeing this post. Haven’t heard that particular rhetoric here before. Typing this from my Pixel 7a running GrapheneOS

Should be the same link without the tracking

The question is so generic and open ended it’s not a surprise. The only filter on this is “runs well on ThinkPad” and “lightweight”, which are both up to interpretation

Can completely agree with the LMDE 6 recommendation

I decided on the basis of making my hardware last as long as I can, I chucked an i7-2760QM into my Latitude E6420 and 16GB DDR3 memory, shit actually runs flawlessly with LMDE. It even was able to run Windows Server 2022 in a VM while having me screen share said VM for an assignment I had.

Oh, was this why DuckDuckGo was down yesterday?

I think that’s a Hermitcraft reference, and I did not expect to see that on Lemmy of all places.

If you look up Hermitcraft S6 rap battle I think there’s a segment where Xisumavoid (sometimes called X) raps that

Edit: Jesus Christ this is embarrassing

For the phone bit, I started off with really old smartphones like a Galaxy S1, but basically any old old phones are really built like mini laptops and are usually pretty modular as they weren’t often water resistant or actively anti-repair

However I fully get your point and fall into the same boat with cars

I’m not a big Twitter user to begin with, so I assumed based on the title that it was going to be similar to YouTube disabling the dislike counter.

This is making the list of posts you’ve “Liked” private. Saved you a click.

Personally I’d like this to be a toggleable feature like Reddit has (had?), but otherwise, yeah seems like an obtuse change, I don’t understand the why behind it.

I’ve had experience with the older Toughbook CF-18’s and Linux (specifically Xubuntu actually), in my case mine worked out of box, but I had the digitizer option.

Could you give us the output of the lspci and lsusb commands, to see if it’s being detected?

There is also Synaptic which is a graphical front-end for apt, although I would definitely class it as less user friendly than Discover and the like.

I know if I was doing some Linux challenge with no terminal it would have to be my crutch.

Edit: Arch Linux has pamac which I used more frequently than the terminal back then.

If so, they’re pretty good at covering it up. You can usually tell Electron apps from how they behave (mousing over any clickable UI elements turns into a hand on Electron but native apps usually don’t, etc.) but I’ve always thought that Office apps, including the latest, are native.

Its pretty clear that old Outlook is native and the new Outlook is Electron just based on how it feels.

I just want you to know that was an amazing read, was actually thinking “It gets worse? Oh it does. Oh, IT GETS EVEN WORSE?”

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

23yo zoomer here. Like everyone else, I was stuck on the Michael Cera one for a while, but it was because I never heard of the guy and even after googling I didn’t realise he was in one of the other photos.

Gosh texting on the Nokia felt so normal and equally a nice reminder on how nice the mobile keyboards we have now are.

I’ve never heard of a boomerang, the comments here filled me in but I’m not an Instagram user.

The iPod was fucking magical by the way, always wanted one as a kid growing up, even begging my parents just for the nano but they didn’t see the value in that compared to the cheap knockoff MP4 players. I still want one nowadays but they’re all stupid expensive.

I can usually read them, though issues can range entirely from nothing to entirely broken. I otherwise haven’t tried creating a .docx file on Linux (I would usually use .odf instead) and seeing how it renders in MS Office, but when it comes to an assessment I’d prefer not to test that.
