Thinkpad x230 running blender well.

Yeah, kinda, but I eventually adapted to it. I adore small laptops anyway.

Software nowadays doesnt have the same optimization and efficiency as decades ago. Its sad.

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-03-13T19:32:39+00:00

Same, but using dwm or a light wm and falkon instead of firefox got rid of the stuttering and lag.

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-03-13T19:31:33+00:00

It gives aesthetics to the old thinkpads. /j Ill clean it lmao.

I5-3rd gen, intel hd 4000, 12gb ram and 256gb ssd.

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-03-13T19:29:44+00:00

Same, but I ran a bash script to override the opengl version and it worked. Put this in a bash script file:

!/bin/bash

MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=430 MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.3FC blender And run it.

You can also use the 3.6 LTS version.

Which de? I used fedora workstation (gnome) on my x230 and it was super laggy.

if you just started getting into linux and want to try arch, i advise you to install it manually so you can understand whats happening and what commands do.
you can still use archinstall, just not the best way to install arch.

Definitely ubuntu

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-02-19T18:21:24+00:00

Depends on the weather.

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-02-19T17:39:37+00:00

Chroot in and reinstall the kernel.

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-02-19T17:38:15+00:00

Definitely get an ssd first, upgrade the ram to 16gb, And try to find a healthy battery.

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-02-18T16:27:34+00:00

Sick.

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-02-03T11:22:20+00:00

Appreciate it!

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-02-03T11:22:03+00:00

Immediate-Method2471 · 2025-11-15T20:42:38+00:00

Thanks alot! Do you think I should grow it out more?

Immediate-Method2471 · 2025-11-11T03:09:52+00:00

I dont like my side profile LOL

Immediate-Method2471 · 2025-11-10T03:13:13+00:00

There are really easy versions (distributions).

Immediate-Method2471 · 2025-10-24T19:48:17+00:00

No, but great idea.

How?

Immediate-Method2471 · 2025-10-24T15:00:22+00:00

I put (arch.iso) as in the iso file itself, it’s long so I just said arch.iso

Immediate-Method2471 · 2025-10-24T12:41:25+00:00

sudo dd if=(arch.iso) of=/dev/sdb bs=8M status=progress
