The problem with c/fuckcars is that a lot of people there aren’t people wanting public transit and pedestrian/bike infrastructure, but normies that simple mindedly complain about cars. I’m willing to bet that ~20% of them are there because they hate the cars that get them stuck in traffic, but don’t care about driving their own car everywhere.

you can get real keys by putting the t420 ones on the t430

eternity is amazing and works really well, I’ve had no issues so far

at least he doesn’t look like an amphibian

wow that’s so surprising cant believe capitalistic profit centric big tech would do that oh my god no way

it’s not going to stop unless you have a good replacement

it works on my kde neon by default

then MOVE.

they’re too micro soft to acknowledge that bash is better than cmd

I don’t think debian is good for first time users because:

• the downloads page 🗿
• sudo isn’t setup out of the box
• most guides refer to ubuntu 20.04/22.04

what??? why do you lose credit by getting hit by a car? that’s insane

i love this theme, the thin colours are beautiful

tbh I like mint, but for people that want to learn linux I think ubuntu is better.

There’s more people using it, so you get better support, and there’s other flavpurs available so things like kde and xfce are supported well right out the box

I don’t recommend wsl because it bodges the worst part of windows (windows terminal) onto linux. Also, it’s much nicer to learn in a vm where you are learning actual linux, instead of MS’ interpretation of linux.

It’s like playing with clay in a bag, versus playing with clay with your bare hands.

yeah, but also account for the cost of a battery replacement

ThinkPad T430

pros:

• old
• extremely cheap
• usable performance, can be upgraded to average performance
• libreboot compatible
• very compatible with Linux
• great keyboard (if you mod it with a t420 keyboard)
• trackpoint (controversial)
• hot swappable batteries
• repairable
• display can be upgraded to IPS if you manage to find a converter board

cons:

• old
• bad battery life (if you keep the stock one)
• TN panel
• not blazing fast (more than enough for the tasks you mentioned though)

i would recommend the 13 but not 16, it literally hasn’t been released yet and there’s no reviews to base opinions off of.

huh, must be my icon pack or something then. Mine shows a icon of the weather (clouds, rain, etc) instead of the temperature

t430 would probably like to have a talk

how do you get simple weather to just show the temperature?
