Just a silly girl~
unfortunately not, power wise it only lets you upgrade the RAM.
but those CPU´s are vastly superior to those 2nd and 3rd Gen i7´s you can put into a t420/t430
the german website https://thinkwiki.de/ has detailed information about possible upgrades of every model :)
Thinkpads were basically made for Linux, depending on your Budget you can get a Thinkpad X220, X230, T420 or T430 for small money - perfectly usesble machines and Linux (my experience is CachyOS & Arch) work out of the box.
For a bigger budget i could recomment the T480, it’s still upgradeable.
And for a bigger budget i’d recommend a T14 GEN2
god i love the t420! the only limitation it has for my usecase is gaming which is fine - i use the steam streaming feature when i want to play games like citybuilders in my bed :)
this meme was around before i even reached consciousness
Mint.
Linux users tend to forget that using Konsole even once is overwhelming for even “seasoned PC users”
My roommate is a gamer, spends lots of time on PC´s and knows his shit. But he felt overwhelmed with the CachyOS Laptop i gifted him.
pirated games can be quite ethical :3
I got used to the Workflow of Ableton so I understand the struggle. I got an 8-Track license for Bitwig from a friend which works like a charm. Other than that there´s Ardour, it´s FOSS and ugly - can´t say more since i haven´t played around with it yet but apparently it´s good? idk.
remember when they reviewed disco elysium?
Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Features multiple LGBTQ+ characters including the player character. Heavy social commentary regarding communism. Whether pro or anti is unclear.
je pense que le mot es plus vieux que l’internet.
i wish i could escape the french language…
ah oui merci école pour 4 ans de francais… or some shit
cette image humoristique sur l’internet (eng: meme) est tres drôle.
glad i could help! :)
i found my way around it, if you have issues where the wiki can’t help you feel free to message me!
i wonder what OP is doing now, 10yrs later :)
I am no expert and can only tell from my own experience: i recently installed CachyOS with KDE, it is an Arch based distro, despite that I, a fresh linux user, think it is really accessible and it worked out of the box. Gaming is not really an issue for me, if issues arise i just check ProtonDB, but that´s really rare thanks to Lutris being pre-installed. You also benefit from the Arch Wiki which, in my opinion, has a REALLY good documentation of any question or issue you encounter with that operating system.
You have to get comfortable with the terminal though, but i think that applies to any linux distro (my only other distro experience is Mint 10 yrs ago)
glad i could help :)
