Btw
UsernamesAreDifficult, I mean, if it helps why not! I honestly really do have a lot of fun tinkering with Linux, it’s one of the big draws of the OS to me.
milicent_bystandr, Because mumble mumble no Windows into your soul
UsernamesAreDifficult, I don’t like Windows. They leak a lot of air, they are expensive to replace, and you usually just end up covering them anyway.
I also don’t like the OS much either. lol
spittingimage, 
My submarine functions so much better since I nailed them all shut.
donio, Costs a lot less than therapy too.
Grangle1, I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM buys 3 more Thinkpads on eBay
nexussapphire, I can stop whenever I want. Buys a pallet of busted Thinkpad.
delirious_owl, 
Moar leik chrome books
Simmy, Damn I’ve done this stuff. Even installed Gentoo on Raspberry Pi 400 for no reason. Maybe I’m not taking the right meds?
abbenm, Excuse me! I would never buy a thinkpad.
monsterpiece42, Good, keep the prices low for the smart people who do.
SSJ2Marx, 
low prices
On a Thinkpad!? Unless you’re buying a last-generation one that’s on clearance, that’s a laugh.
KillingTimeItself, homie you can get a t480 for like 150 dollars. For an 8th gen intel mobile chip that’s not a bad price.
All in on an older t420 or something you’ll be looking fairly similar, including battery, charger, and storage, unless you get a really good deal.
theshatterstone54, Bro, they cost £300 on Ebay in the UK (a refurbished t480 with an 8th Gen Core i7)
KillingTimeItself, you can routinely find i5 variants here in the US for that price. Im sure the i7 models are more expensive, those are sought after, but frankly as long as the i5 models have 4 cores, they’re fine. Last i checked a t480 running a quad core i5 is 75% of my r5 2600, which is more than enough for mild productivity work.
SSJ2Marx, Well yeah I guess if you’re buying a used machine from six years ago with millions in existence because tons of businesses bought them it’ll be cheap no matter what manufacturer it’s from. Thinkpads do hold up better against age than most.
KillingTimeItself, yup
Bitrot, 
That’s what everyone is talking about. The new ones aren’t that great.
pukeko, A last generation ThinkPad is still going to be a beast you can get 6-7 years out of. I have a gen2 X1 that was still a beast until the offspring spilled a Coke on it.
KillingTimeItself, why not? They’re sick laptops. Just don’t buy the new ones, they’re cringe.
ColdWater, 
But I need therapy after installed Arch
d3Xt3r, And the ones who install Arch on a MacBook need extra special therapy.
ProgrammingSocks, I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
SatansMaggotyCumFart, If you look at the usernames that picture is actually OC.
KillingTimeItself, about the username…
SatansMaggotyCumFart, d3Et3r?
KillingTimeItself, i have no words
ProgrammingSocks, I didn’t even look at the picture lol
SatansMaggotyCumFart, I just remembered it because it has twenty-nine minutes uptime.
What kind of scrub runs Arch with a kernel that’s been compiled twenty-nine minutes ago?
That shit needs to be updated!
Petter1, ☺️i love my arch on my macbookpro from 2009 😂
Was difficult to understand that I have to boot via legacy bios in order for the nvidia grafic to work… But after installing grub2 via CDrom I had i done ✅ now I can boot any iso from using grub2 and don’t have to relay on CD rom anymore 🥳 Next will be a 2013 MacBookPro (with nvidia as well), as soon as my motor buys her m3 MacBookPro
FQQD, 
This reads like a copypasta
Oha, just cause they use emojis?
folkrav, (edited ) I mean, tone does have to do with how you use a language 🗣️ and symbols to communicate, and the emojis in the middle ➡️❎⬅️ of sentences and how many there are in relation to the amount of sentences 💬 do make it kind of read like a copypasta ©️🍝
KillingTimeItself, allowing emojis on the internet was a fucking mistake ngl.
burgersc12, What if i have Arch on my Desktop and Linux Mint on my MacBook?
russjr08, Endeavour on my desktop, and Fedora Silverblue on my MacBook - good combination!

Shinji_Ikari, 
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.
Evil_Shrubbery, … ooohh, that’s not a terrible idea actually.
I’ve been buying old rigs and installing Proxmox, but this would work too I guess.
balancedchaos, Who needs therapy when you have pacman?
Twig, 
And yay
lessthanluigi, And paru
autokludge, 
ILoveCandy
nightwatch_admin, 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.
pukeko, Get a refurb T14 for (relatively) nothing before going hardcore.
js10, So you’re just going to call me out like that, huh?
Blopen_scr0pen, Or men who think they’re women 🤣
Lux, Transphobia is cringe
ChaoticNeutralCzech, or men who think they are a woman
Such men don’t exist. If they consistently think they’re a woman, then they are a woman. At least in terms of gender, and asking about one’s gender (or pronouns) is preferred to biological/legal sex.
cirdanlunae, We don’t do that here
ProgrammingSocks, I enjoy this activity too as a non binary person
Twig, Wouldn’t that be Gentoo?
mkwt, Except even Gentoo does binaries now (more than they used to).
Twig, LFS?
Diplomjodler, I tried going to a dominatrix but that just wasn’t enough punishment.
Aggravationstation, Was LFS a bit too much?
Diplomjodler, Oh yes, Mommy! I’ve been a very naughty boy!
