Only five years?
My iMac 14,1 from late 2013 is running great with 16 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD and Linux Mint.
5 year old
I recently upgraded from my W541 to a T470 I got for cheap. And I only upgraded due to hardware decoding features being a tad bit newer on the T470 and USB-C being kinda cool to utilise.
Every day.
Macbook = Vendor Lock-In as Hardware.
The 5 years old one is the upgrade I think about for my 11 years old Thinkpad.
Rookie numbers. My main one is 14, my older one is almost 25.
Mine is 13, Debian flies on it.
Mine was a meme machine for a while. Old thinkpad with Arch and i3 gaps, switched to Sway, then GNOME
Mines about half way there. Debian, i3, kitty, fully Tokyo nights themed, lots of stickers. I haven’t tried playing with transparency and backgrounds yet due to the quite low end video card, small screen size and iffy color quality.
Yeah, I used to do more WM stuff, but GNOME is like… Halfway there, anyway, and I just haven’t felt like customizing the look of my PC in a while, which is where WMs really shine for me in comparison to GNOME
Mofo still on pentium III. Wait few more years, and you can sell it to a museum.
Without IME they will become very valuable.
Didn’t libreboot remove it on t480?
How reliable is that?
2001 is xp era. Too new for my taste.
Only 5?
5 is brand new when it’s only a bit over 10% of your overall life as a hardened, jaded millennial.
Yup, I’ve got socks older than that. And underwear. Actually most of my clothes are older than that, anything newer seems to only last a year or two.
I’m still on my desktop build from 2011, except I have slowly upgraded parts over the years like the ship of theseus
Just don’t get RAM for a bit? 😭
Yeah that’s what’s holding me back from a big upgrade. 64 GB of RAM is nice, but it’s DDR3 and AFAIK I need a whole new mobo and cpu to get to newer DDR
I hear that “newest MacBook” is pretty nice. (/s btw, although it probably actually is!:-P)
Hehe, I’m actually using a 6 year-old Mac mini M1 running Asahi Fedora, and it kicks ass.
I tried that with the MacBook M1 and just couldn’t get used to the feel of the hardware, I missed that nipple something fierce
How is the Asahi experience in comparison?
I’m about to buy my first non-raspberry greenery too - my question (I know too little about the project & Apple ARM issues overall to have any baseline) is if are there any normie issues with updates & use of Firefox (in various water/dog flavours), and maybe Openoffice?
I want to try it just for the sake of it but don’t really need a laptop - I’m wondering if it’s a viable/sensible idea to give it to my parents if I won’t be using it.
came to say this basically
Got one in my closet for emergencies.
