I'm looking to replace my family's laptop used mostly for web browsing, word processing, and making sure my cross platform apps work. I have a Framework Laptop 16 AMD Ryzen in pre-order which is supposed to ship next month.
Would a Surface Pro 9 or a Thinkpad X13s be a good choice for this use case?
I originally tooted about this about a month ago. Through a dose of bad luck (combined with shipping times), it's taken a month to get the #laptop up and running again.
#Thinkpad T60 mainboard replacement was a failure. Same symtoms as before the replacment :(
Thats exactly why I'm so concerned with my 20+ year old disc games running in wine. This hardware is dying left and right and there are no real good emulation options...
@winterschon I installed #KDE Neon on a #Thinkpad P14s and everything worked out of the box including WiFi, power management, the printer, and the fingerprint reader. Fantastic experience
Folks are enjoying the Fedora and @centos booth at Red Hat Summit this week. Come check out the ThinkPad X1 Carbon and Slimbook Fedora 1 if you're here!
Thanks to Lenovo and Slimbook for these awesome devices that come with Fedora preinstalled!
Hey X1C fans,
had anyone such strange battery charge behavior? As you can see in the screenshot, charge rate is very low.
My X1 Carbon Gen8 (20U9) loads the battery only very very slowly, happens on both USB-C ports.
The charger works fine on another 20U9 device. The BIOS was updated to the latest version recently, no change.
The net knows a lot about charging problems with Gen7 and Gen9 but nothing about Gen8.
I updated my old #ThinkPad#T60 with the latest #Manjaro Linux. Boot this machine after the last system hiccup that I thought the motherboard had been faulty. I can't wait for Wayland.

Looking forward to setting up my used #thinkpad with #linuxmint next week. Looking for recos for easy syncing, mainly for my #emacs and #orgmode stuff. What have you used that you could recommend? I do have GDrive working well on my Windows machines, so could go that route,, though not familiar with how to do that on linux. Thanks!
I had bought a T495 second hand from Taitonetti.fi and I thought it didn't have backlight. The trackpoint and the buttons from the trackpad were not working when I got it, so I thought it was not compatible with Linux perhaps. Today I saw a video on how to replace the keyboard and I thought, let me see if there is something wrong with the keyboard. Guess what? The keyboard is working properly, a ribbon cable was not properly inserted. Now fully operational.
Dalton asks us when consumer computers peaked which stirs up a debate about various generations of XPS and ThinkPad laptops, trackpads vs trackpoints, P-cores and E-cores, and more. Plus follow-up on the devices and software we trust.
My laptop is kinda falling apart and I am considering buying a refurbished #thinkpadt480 :thinkpad: 🤔 It's way cheaper than buying a new one and if I slap #linux on that bad boy (I'd do that anyways) it might just be awesome...
