One of the reasons I like Thinkpads so much is the support of the community with mods, parts and so on. Feel free to hmu if you need Thinkpad help lol.
That's specifically why I got mine. It's a shame I couldn't find good deals on a T440P in my area but even the regular T440 should be enough for my needs. Thanks for the link btw! Interesting that the T440 has a military certification lmao
oh damn, i didn't realize you can get boards like that! i thought they all had the i3, so i didn't bother to look. thanks a lot!
yeah that's what i figured would happen, but it's worth a shot anyway
The polish side of the internet has a few hidden gems like that. This one's from 16 years ago. krzyk pterodaktyla (pterodactyl's scream)
Weird, the software manager (using LM 21.3) reports 1.1GB dl, 2.4GB installed (which is different from when i checked yesterday for some reason?).
flatpak install reports around 2.1GB of dependencies and the package itself at just 1.3MB
EDIT: nvm im stupid, the other reply explains the discrepancy
It CAN get pretty wild sometimes, though. For example, Flameshot (screenshotting utility) is only ~560KB as a system package, while its flatpak version is ~1.4GB (almost 2.5k times as big)
For the past few years, I just install the latest stable version of anything I use and never bother touching or tweaking anything ... never had a problem since.
And that's exactly how I'm trying to approach everything after the reinstall. I like tinkering with my system, but after a couple months it really starts messing with everything.
It's funny seeing this like literally a couple days after I decided it would be easier to reinstall my Mint sysyem than to fix the audio issues Pipewire was causing. I'm back on PulseAudio and haven't had issues since.
Yeah, I feel that. Paint.net is the sole reason I still fire up my Windows VM every now and then.
The closest you can get is Pinta and even then, looking at the surface things may seem very similar, but the workflow is totally different (it doesn't even have overscroll god damn it!) and the plugin scene is deader than dead. I wanted to code a proper replacement based on Pinta, but I haven't got the motivation or time for that.
If I wanna edit an image, firing up a VM is still genuinely faster than trying to work with Pinta or GIMP or any other opensource alternative for that matter. Krita has surprisingly been pretty good at replicating the workflow, but it still falls short.
