My Fedora workstation is a Thinkpad P51. I forgot this laptop has 32GB of ram and i7 processor. I believe it's 8 core with an Intel and Nvidia dual graphics card. Used to run Windows and AutoCAD.
It has an Expresscard/34 slot which I have never used. I was wondering if this was even a thing in 2024? Does anyone use this port on their laptops and how is linux support?
@jnv I have a WiFi and an audio card in EC/34 that I used with older laptops. The audio card was nice to have for jack audio, because PCIe is low-latency. Support is just ACPI PCIe hotplug - and that worked fine for me. Some cards are just USB - especially WAN cards. For those, you can have USB cable adapters. For a while, it might have been useful for eSATA…
