EDIT: a reboot fixed this??? Weird!

Anyone know whats going on with my mom's new Thinkpad T14? On a fresh #Fedora install, whenever I make broad strokes across the trackpad, it works fine... But whenever I move my finger little bits across the trackpad? It stops moving and doesnt move accurately. Its a super shitty experience. Anyone know if this is the terrible trackpad in the laptop or if its a Linux fault? #thinkpad #linux

So still on my #OpenBSD adventure and although I missed images in the terminal be it sixel in xterm or the kitty protocol in kitty, I've decided to stick with good old #Xterm . Also on my #FreeBSD daily driver I'm used to such luxuries as icons in the terminal like font awesome or nerd fonts but even though I could have used alacritty or kitty to achieve this I have decided to for go them. After all what do they do other make it look pretty ? I don't get any other functionality from them and they can easily be replaced with text. You might have noticed too that although I'm a #Wayland chic on my #ThinkPad I've decided to be all nostalgic and stick with Xorg on OpenBSD. I haven't yet settled on a window manager be it tiling or stacking but #HerbstluftWM and #Openbox are in my sights although I'm still using the default #Fvwm right now. I have my Qutebrowser setup and aerc for my email. Printing via cups and xsane for scanning. Looking into nsxiv for an image viewer as the OpenBSD port of imv is well out of date. Yes I'm having to make small changes but once I'm finished this wee Dell Optiplex 3080 tower will be perfect for daily driving OpenBSD and I'm looking forward to learning lots more. #RunBSD

Decided that using xorg on my dell optiplex 3080 tower under #FreeBSD isn't for me although it bought back memories. I have seen how certain software has already become stale by which I mean no updates or bug fixes in a good 4-5 years. So I've switched back to #Wayland which I still use on my #ThinkPAD . But my experience of using twm and xterm have made me go explore #Labwc again with my favourite Wayland terminal Foot. It's a lovely minimal stacking window manager which can be themed using #OpenBox themes. I have gruvbox dark installed which I quite like. As to what bar I'm going to use ? I'm not sure maybe waybar or sfwbar or even something else ? #RunBSD

Fedora Project (F42 is OUT)

Looking for a new laptop that runs Linux out of the box? Get a ThinkPad!

Lenovo has been offering ThinkPads with Fedora and @ubuntu preinstalled for a few years now. The more people who shop for these devices, the more attention they can give to this business!

Here's an article of someone discovering Lenovo's Linux program: news.itsfoss.com/lenovo-cuts-w

Fresh new instance, fresh new #introduction time.

I'm Erin, yet another autistic transgender anarchist from so-called Portland, Oregon. I used to have fancy tech jobs with titles like "Lead Full-Stack Software Engineer" until I burnt out, got laid off, and discovered that the tech industry was done with me. Nowadays I survive on a very part-time gig as a general technologist and some freelance tech work when I can find it. My part-time gig is unionized through the IWW, of which I am a proud member. I've been on fedi under various names and handles since GNU Social was the cool new thing.

My special interests include Cybersecurity, Casio watches, Dungeons & Dragons, Final Fantasy XIV, the Indieweb, Linux, old ThinkPads, XMPP, Yuri Anime and Manga, and stuffed sharks.

@itsfoss recent #Lenovo #Thinkpad #Laptop like T14 Gen 5 has pretty decent #repairability score:

ifixit.com/repairability/lapto

Not as good as #framework but it is still good to have alternatives.

Be aware of proprietary binary blobs in #firmware and #bios hence I can recommend to also have a look here for other great #laptops:
coreboot.org/
puri.sm/

And more here: pad.hacc.space/green-hardware-

Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 (released in 2024) has a ifixit repairability score of 9/10. Some pros: Storage and memory are readily repairable/upgradeable using industry-standard parts. The battery is easily replaced, and the keyboard replacement procedure is best-in-class. Overall high modularity, apart from a handful of soldered ports and a bundled fan/heat sink assembly.

Coming up, rebooting into GENERIC-DEBUG kernel rebuilt with remote GDM (kgdb) access via the COM1 link to laptop.

Obviously all the Cool Kidz use second hand ThinkPads running Linux.

I'm after a cheap daily driver having always been in Mac (well also Asahi and the server this Social Media Conglomerate runs on).

Any tips or models to look out for? Ideally I want something less than £200. Well I say ideally, I can barely afford £200!

Anyway, help/advice appreciated.
