Et bien ce week-end j'ai sauté le pas ! J'ai trouvé un bon portable #Lenovo qui tourne maintenant sous #LinuxMint comme un charme ! J'ai récupéré mes fichiers, mes polices et go la mise en page sous logiciels libres ! Bye-bye l'iMac, tu auras bien servi ! (Et c'est mon ado2 qui est trés contente !)
I might have posted about this already, but it looks like a cat must have landed on my laptop pretty hard when it was closed one day, because now some parts of the screen are brighter than others.
It's an old lappie, but I've come to love it (it was also a gift) so I am going to try to replace the screen. The videos make it look easy.
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?
The #SteamDeck's existence has prompted other big brands to also churn out their Deck competitors like #ASUS' #ROGAlly, #MSI's #MSIClaw, #Lenovo's #LegionGo, etc. which is great bcos competition is always nice.
... but unfortunately, to my eyes and only my own, there really isn't any competitor to my Deck and it's not bcos of #Linux/#SteamOS which yes, I do absolutely require out of a #gaming handheld (definitely not #Windows, no), but it's all about the design. Blows my mind how the Steam Deck is still the ONLY gaming handheld that doesn't scream (not as loud at least) "I'm a boy" or "I'm a gamer".
The obnoxious logos and branding (MSI's even has "TRUE GAMER" etched on their handheld lmao), the RGB vomit everywhere on the handheld wasting the already very precious battery life and weight of the device, the "rough" edges and curves (or lack thereof) of the device that screams "gamery"... and more. The design of the Steam Deck is still not only the most ergonomic imo, but most importantly the stealthiest of them all. I despise obnoxious designs and I appreciate #Valve's decision not to participate in that mess. I just wish and hope that future Decks would come in more colourways.
"Prices start at $2799 for a Thinkpad X13 Gen 5 with a Core Ultra 5 125U processor, 16GB of LPDDR5x-7500 memory and a 256GB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD or $3014 for a 2-in-1 model with similar specs."
"All versions of both laptops ship standard with a 54.7 Wh battery, a 5MP webcam, and a 1920 x 1200 pixel IPS LCD display with a 60 Hz refresh rate and up to 300 nits brightness."
I can get a laptop with mostly double the specs for less than half of the price. What did I miss?
For some reason I can't open my Medibang Paint Pro files from anywhere else but the downloads. I can't tag them to workstation, make a copy to the workstation, or put them into any files or they don't work at all.
So now all are bundled in horrible mess in the downloads and I have zero visual reminders on the desk to help my brain out...
I ordered a #Lenovo Ideapad 3 (12.5") #Chromebook with the intention to put #Linux on it.
Today I received it.
It was declared as B stock, so I expected it to have some scratches or something.
I was wrong.
The only reason it was declared as B stock was because it has a US ANSI QWERTY keyboard.
The package was opened before but the computer didn’t even have fingerprints on it.
I payed 108 EUR for it.
Yeah, the display is not the best and it is comparable to a X220 display.
But for my purpose it will be sufficient.
I will answer on this toot for updates when I will try installing Linux on it.
