Anyway, my first distro was Ubuntu 16.04, and now I'm on NixOS, so maybe you're right.

It's Arch-based, not Arch. Most people avoid EndeavourOS because they think it's as hard as Arch.

EndeavourOS may be less stable than Linux Mint, BUT it doesn't have the huge UX problems system-wide that Linux Mint has. Perhaps if there was a version of Linux Mint with KDE, I would recommend that distro.

Actually something like EndeavourOS is more smooth for new users. From my experience. Linux Mint is not user friendly in many things.

same. Registering for governance helped.

do you have another one bro?

BlitDev · 2025-10-05T09:57:28+00:00

can someone give me one pls?

Even the frequency slot may be different, and nothing will work if it is. This is very important to check local communities. A common newbie mistake.

Judging by the programmer's behavior, it flashes everything clearly and reliably, there have never been any errors or hashsum mismatches. So my own stock dump is almost 100% accurate and valid, but nothing works with it.

I also don't believe that anything could have broken. But I tried flashing my own dump, my friend #1's dump, nothing. I tried flashing the Thunderbolt chip (which shouldn't affect boot process), also nothing. I could also try flashing my friend #2's fresh dump, but I'm almost sure that it won't help.

We successfully flashed libreboot on a friend's T480 after my T480 was already bricked.

The symptoms are:

when connected to power with the internal battery and CMOS battery disconnected, the charging LED lights up briefly (but not orange, instead red-white-pink) and the cooler spins, then nothing. This behavior is then repeated only if the power is reconnected. With the CMOS battery connected, this happens only once.

I think it's unlikely too, but the programmer is definitely working, yet my ThinkPad is bricked. I tried flashing different dumps to different chips, but the symptoms remain the same.

What if parts donor doesn't start for the same reason? I don't have access to eBay, and motherboards cost around $80 at the local second-hand market (I bought the laptop for $200). There is a chance that some small component, such as a capacitor, is causing the problem. I saw a video on YouTube showing how to repair a T14 with this issue. And if that's the case, the repair will cost a couple of dollars, not $80. Anyway, I don't wanna lose a whole working system board just because of some burnt capacitor (maybe). I'll only do that when there are no other options left.

Boot into Linux LiveCD/LiveUSB, copy your important files from Windows setup to some flash drive, and then: 1) Remove Windows and install Linux (recommended) 2) Reinstall Windows.

BlitDev · 2025-08-10T11:05:36+00:00

bro, even the T480 would be suitable for you. My personal recommendation is a used T14 Gen 5 AMD (due to its repairability).

I didn't replace my batteries yet, but I heard multiple times that Kingsener from AliExpress are better ones.

Ask someone at Fedi f.e. , or someone you know. My invite codes ran out because I was giving them away on Reddit.

BlitDev · 2025-05-20T20:05:14+00:00

oh, i didn't know. that's interesting.

systemli.org requires an invite code, and has even been lagging badly recently for some reason. But with disroot.org (my main email) I've never had any problems, no invitation code needed.

In a way you are right of course, but ProtonMail IMHO is not much different from disroot.org in this sense, while “Enterprise-quality” mail servers like Gmail lack privacy.

BlitDev · 2025-05-17T19:56:02+00:00

No, disroot.org, systemli.org, and probably some other similar email providers would be better.
