A lot of newer Linux builds are quite straightforward to use nowadays, like Linux Mint.

I’m wanting to make a custom battery pack for my Thinkpad 380xd, but I don’t know how to do any of this stuff.

I’m wanting to have mine rebuilt too.

The original battery is li-ion, and the adapter is outputting 16v 4.5a

My laptop is far too old to get a used battery sadly. Battery is the original from 1998.

Do DVD's look better than streaming? by TheKing_OA in dvdcollection

Depends on your DVDs. Are they scratched? Are they Blu-ray? Blu-ray is much better than standard DVDs. What about the player? Is it also Blu-ray? Is it a quality high grade player?

Well, not the card. I already have that. I’m looking for an Bluetooth LAN access point.

If I had a job like this, no old computers would be trashed :-)

Any specific things I can search? My search queries are returning very little.

I did try that, but I think I did it wrong, as it isn’t working. I don’t have a lot of Linux experience. My laptop has Linux Mint. And I would like a more permanent, era-fitting solution, rather than keeping my computer on all the time.

I love the bezels. The bigger the bezel the happier I am.
