So I got my dedicated :haiku: #Haiku second hand Laptop . The ThinkPad T61 seems to work beautifully. WiFi, Trackpad pretty much everything. For about a hundred dollars it’s a nice little machine.
The keyboard is really pleasant. It loots its little iconic red appendice in the center so I ordered a few. And the battery is dead as promised so I am ordering one.
Never had a ThinkPad before but I appreciate I can get parts even 17-18 years after the machine release.
@akosma as in installing (rather simple) or what to use ? I don’t know of any recent guide except the ones on haiku-os.org of course. There’s an IRC channel. Just launch Vision which should come preinstalled with the proper server & channel.
On an old machine beware of all the QT ports. It’s nice to have them but you’ll notice the speed difference. I really did on a Core 2 Duo here.
