I will definitely come back with photos, I’m getting the Thinkpad on Friday or Saturday :-)

I’m also looking into customizing GRUB to look like this:

Edit: also planning on using this for my DE:

I actually just tried installing it yesterday on Debian, I was able to build everything successfully, but I couldn’t figure out how to actually apply the theme. Unfortunately, the developer hasn’t written a guide for it yet. Would you be able to help me? Looking forward to your reply!

Actually, Linux is just the kernel, not the whole OS. The full operating system is called GNU/Linux because it combines the Linux kernel with GNU tools. Teaching people about GNU and why it was made is important. It’s not just about using software but understanding the freedoms behind it – the freedom to use, study, modify, and share. Free Software is about more than just open-source, it’s about user freedom, and that’s a crucial distinction. Now, I’m not forcing you to say GNU/Linux, I say Linux most of the time myself, but you should still teach people about GNU.

You can encrypt your /boot partition with Argon2, which allows you to have a fully encrypted disk. You can check the integrity of your kernel at boot via Libreboot GRUB using GPG. Not as much spyware as you get with modern day computers. I know there is still proprietary ECs, microcode, etc. but we should all be trying to minimize proprietary software as much as possible.

There are PCIe x4 cards with dual NVMe slots, and there’s other PCIe cards that have like 4 SATA slots. You can use as much space as you want :)

I just fixed it, thank you for the heads up!
