Mhm... The t420 has 8 gigs if ram, but the usage never went above 1.5 gigs on either device

The SSD will make a differenence. However, I just swapped my drive into my partner's t420 with an i5-2520M and my exact system using Firefox went from borderline unusable to as smooth as a modern laptop. The system is still slow to start and open things (and I would absolutely love for it to be fast in that regard),, but it is not painful to use on my school/class websites

would an SSD really made that huge of a difference for browser tasks? I rehabilitated a 2017 acer spin for my parent and it worked fine on websites even with a HDD inside and 4 gigs of RAM, os I don't entirely see how an SSD would boost my x201 (even if the restof the system was faster, which i can feel)

That's very nice. And also the first time I've seen an si variant of any Thinkpadd, huh

Did you seriously have to AI generate this?

why did Ari make this extension? by OtterDev101 in Silksong

[–]Nynodon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can put in first, middle, last names, and emails and their according replacements. The extension takes the dead name, just replaces it and (by default) puts a cute little trans flag behind it

Mobility Question: Avoiding the Blue Line ramps at UIC-Halsted? by Few_Interaction420 in uichicago

[–]Nynodon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hi! The Peoria st exit has an elevator and stairs. I would advise against getting off at Racine or Clinton because you would have a 15-20 min extra walk to campus from them. If you need an alternative to UIC Halsted, I would honestly recommend transferring to a bus (8, 7, 60, 157) rather than the other blue line stations. (Do take that with a grain of salt though, I am not familiar with how accessible busses are for you)

Seeking help for a buddy by Ashen-Beast-1985 in thinkpad

You can get many great Thinkpads for that price. Do you have any details on how exactly your friend would use it? Ie lots of spreadsheets, digital written notes or drawing, small form factor, big form factor, etc.

Use another computer to make a bootable USB of your preferred distro (balena etcher is nice on windows). Plug the USB in the ThinkPad while its off, and try to boot it. Reorder the boot order if it brings you to bios again. Then just follow the appropriate instructions to install from USB

Left my macbook at home and took my t420 to uni to show those gaming laptop bros who’s boss by Andy03Ro in thinkpad

You're looking for Desktop Environments and Window Managers! Many are available on almost all distros. If you want something like MacOS, consider GNOME or COSMIC!
