it is proprietary software behind a paywall… need i say more?

it’s an arch linux machine. with proton and some tweaks to steamos you can run any game without a kernel level anticheat.

glad i could help :)

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 :)

since his bet on the housing market he effectively lost money. all the public things he made can also be safety investments in case his secret hedgefund stuff he doesn’t have to disclose fails.

• this is what an ex-financebro told me yesterday

i LOVE LOVE LOVE the thought of the AI Bubble popping… but i don’t think this MF is the guy to trust

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.

Imagine getting sent up because a pos rj45 cable got hit by a micrometeorite

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 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)
