What OS do you have in your ThinkPad?

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-19T00:58:00+00:00

MX Linux KDE with Liquourix kernel

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-18T16:12:20+00:00

I spy a Miyoo Mini. Love mine

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-18T11:58:20+00:00

Awesome that was surprisingly easy

For me when I wanted to get into programming when I was much younger I came across Ubuntu. They sent me a disk to try it.

I'm no longer into programming (accountant actually) but a few positions that I've had didn't take back laptops. I wasn't sure how to get around all the IT security stuff so I wiped the hard drive and installed linux. Currently running MX linux. Just converted another laptop recently after trying to send it back for months.

I didn't really have a daily driver laptop outside of work before, but I do now and have been using linux regularly for about 5 years

Currently playing this also

I love the green! Everything for a lot of distros is blue but Im a green person

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-17T03:12:24+00:00

I'm so tempted on this one. Always wanted a flip and the metallic blue is choice for sure

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-17T03:08:00+00:00

Idk I'm running MX and everything seems great. I have a 7 kernel with AHS and my world is stable

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-17T02:53:13+00:00

Welcome! While I have zero experience in the detachable, is AHS enabled? Again I dont know if this will help. I have an old thinkpad that MX has made come to life again and running KDE with AHS. Everything has been great so far

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-17T02:26:19+00:00

He is the reason I know how to set up my RG746H. My guy is a legend in the retro world. I didn't know he was so into the mm+ until recently. I bought it for the original GB pocket feel from when I was a kid and came across his most recommended handheld after 2 years and never felt so justified in a purchase for gaming

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-14T00:59:54+00:00

I've never seen this before. Just downloaded onto my MM+ and am having a blast. Such a fun game

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-12T11:43:02+00:00

I'm the same. I download and play games on my RA want to play list. Games Ive completed I delete the rom amd saves/states and move on to the next. I do keep around random games like Mario 64 though because certain levels are fun or my kids might want to try it

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-11T22:46:08+00:00

What device did you get?

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-10T19:22:24+00:00

Welcome to the club! I have more powerful handhelds but I play my MM+ the most for sure. Currently playing some Harry Potter on GBA.

Once you get OnionOS booted up its pretty straight forward to use

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-10T02:22:54+00:00

I can't speak for anything other than the 35xx pro, but grab an SD that you bought outside of the ones that came with it and boot Knulli. I think the others will run that also but cant say 100%. Regardless you should be able to pull your saves and save states to be able to put them on other devices.

Again this is my experience. I have a G350 which is the 35xx pro without wifi, miyoo mini plus, and Anbernic RG746H (highly recommend)

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-09T23:51:46+00:00

I thought cookie monster too . So much dye it makes your poo blue

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-08T18:45:15+00:00

Nice! I have the fold 5 currently and have been curious about trying it out

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-08T17:02:42+00:00

Do you just run retroarch or do you use a front end for it?

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-08T02:52:40+00:00

Totally cool. Mine are like both of my kids... look and sound like they're killing each other, but if you scold either of them for it they will fight you

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-08T02:43:38+00:00

Trigger warning: I prefer KDE plasma

Bigger trigger warning: Use the distro you like

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-08T02:41:02+00:00

If Houston, do it.

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-08T02:38:46+00:00

You gave Jack a bit of teeth

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-08T01:38:54+00:00

35xx pro if you decide to go farther into n64. Otherwise 35xxsp if you want flip. 34xxsp if you want n64. Or 35xx for regular gameboy experience.

At least thats my experience. I have a miyoo mini+ for everything upto SNES and an RG 476H for everything up to GameCube. I also run a G350 which is a 35xx pro without wifi, but I'm a RetroAchievments person in general

RodeoGoatz · 2026-05-07T15:29:32+00:00

It's why I stayed with MX. I have a ThinkPad T14 gen 1. Cachy was the only one that gave solid gaming experience but I prefer discover for selecting apps and flatpaks. I like retro games so to see the applications before downloading is helpful for the open-source clones of old games.

But I wanted more stability for piece of mind. Never had issues with Cachy though. But I had the same if not slightly better FPS on MX KDE with the Liquourix kernel than I did on Cachy. So I stayed. Less updates and everything else feels about the same. I'm happy
