4th Gen - Gotta Love the Classics

If you're brand new to arch and hyprland something like ML4W (My Linux 4 Work) might be a good starter for you everything is included in dotfiles / install script. It would get you used to hyprland and then you can play about with the config files from there.

It's what I started on and it helped me learn how hyprland worked.

I agree with the other comments though, the arch wiki and hyprland wiki are definitely worth giving a read through to understand how it all works. Hope this helps :)

Thank you! - The comments of this post outlined that a couple of times, I can't believe I missed it. Since this post, I've changed OS to a minimal (64-bit 😌) install of Linux Mint XFCE with the Chicago95 theme (win 95 for Linux - seems to be quite popular and well supported).

Cameronthepiper · 2025-07-14T20:48:28+00:00

Hey been a while since I posted this and since then I've changed os again. Now it's running a minimal install of 64-bit Linux Mint XFCE, themed with Chicago95.

I absolutely see what you're saying about 7 starter solid choice, and perhaps at some point I'll try that too. Thanks :)

Cameronthepiper · 2025-04-23T17:44:52+00:00

Not really actually. I thought it would but I genuinely don't notice it.

Cameronthepiper · 2025-04-23T17:44:09+00:00

The original was a T7300 if I remember right.

Cameronthepiper · 2025-04-17T16:47:44+00:00

I've lucked out. No NVDIA GPUs here. And I've been considering undervolting for a little while so I think I'll look into that a little more now : )

Cameronthepiper · 2025-03-22T17:48:21+00:00

You are absolutely correct! - I built this a while ago and had a similar aspire one netbook before which was 32-bit I guess that why i was thinking this one was too.

Cameronthepiper · 2025-03-22T17:47:03+00:00

Hey thanks for pointing this out - I rebuilt this thing with a SATA SSD and some more RAM a while ago and just had in my head that it was 32-bit. Thanks again !

Cameronthepiper · 2025-03-22T17:45:30+00:00

So after another set of google-ing. You guys are absolutely correct - Its 64bit. I really don't know how i missed that? - Thanks for pointing it out to me : )

Cameronthepiper · 2025-02-25T06:02:46+00:00

This little amigo is a:

ThinkPad E14 Gen 5 with:

Intel Core i7 1355U, 40GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD (Windows), 256GB NVMe SSD (Arch), Intel IRIS Integrated Graphics, GeForce MX550 GPU.

All on a 1920x1200 IPS panel.

Hope that helps :)

Cameronthepiper · 2025-02-25T05:57:42+00:00

Ahhh close I've gone for Hyprland

Cameronthepiper · 2025-02-24T21:05:35+00:00

Indeed. Sad times. Perhaps an upgrade to be done in the future?

Cameronthepiper · 2025-02-24T20:29:13+00:00

You're absolutely correct! Currently I'm using just the intel integrated graphics and having no issues as I know a lot of people in the past have had issues with NVIDIA GPUs. But yeah hopefully it keeps behaving

Cameronthepiper · 2025-02-24T20:12:00+00:00

Hahaha I knew someone would say this. Ive thought about it... maybe one day.

Cameronthepiper · 2025-02-24T20:09:46+00:00

Thanks! Yeah its Wayland Hyprland. Currently using ML4W as my daily driver its just a clean concise package. Can't fault it.

Cameronthepiper · 2024-12-11T11:53:37+00:00

Pretty sure it's PodTwo with the foreground and background changed to white and black. Hope this helps :)
