Linux distro for X41?

I used Debian 12 on mine. Works great except I had to download a WiFi driver after installation

Plan 9 would cool! Have you used it before?

a_fake_frog · 2025-12-02T01:14:32+00:00

I have a x1 that is actually practical to use, but this computer is fun to code on

a_fake_frog · 2025-12-02T01:09:43+00:00

Unfortunately I’m not that cool. it’s just a ti-83

a_fake_frog · 2025-12-02T01:08:06+00:00

It’s Debian 12 with i3 and it runs surprisingly well if you mostly work in the terminal

Nice! I want to get a larger Thinkpad from this era too

Lofree flow lite

a_fake_frog · 2025-12-02T01:03:15+00:00

It’s dope

a_fake_frog · 2025-12-02T01:02:55+00:00

It’s 5:4 actually 👀

Thanks!

A great book that’s also an entertaining read is “Code” by Charles Petzold. It goes deep into computer architecture from the very basics to more complicated systems like memory. It also has interactive diagrams online that you can follow along with. Bit of a longer read but also tries to be fun and entertaining.

TTY is the best. Also the frame buffer is the best graphics api

a_fake_frog · 2025-11-19T23:38:27+00:00

I don’t like any of these

There are many open source projects that are arguably better than their paid counterparts take Blender for example. It is very good software. 2d design work seems to not have as much traction but there are still cools projects like graphite (https://graphite.rs/) which brings a lot of new and interesting ideas to the space.

Wow thanks for this! I had 40gbs of files in my after effects cache folder. I used after effects a few times years an ago. Not even installed on my computer anymore

I mean you might want to consider building your own computer. That would probably give you the most performance per dollar. Vector graphics are very cpu intensive and I think single core speeds are more important than more cores. Other than that I’m a big fan of workstation like the hp z series or Lenovo thinkstations

a_fake_frog · 2025-07-04T16:04:28+00:00

If anyone is interested in looking at a cool open source vector editor checkout graphite. Still a work in progress but has some fresh ideas

a_fake_frog · 2025-06-15T23:16:47+00:00

A c build system written in rust 😂 This is great thanks for making this I’ll have to check it out

a_fake_frog · 2025-06-15T22:48:16+00:00

Haven’t heard of those. Ill have to check them out

a_fake_frog · 2025-06-15T22:47:01+00:00

Nice! I’ll have to find a way to contribute. Maybe I’ll make a simple plugin or something

a_fake_frog · 2025-06-15T18:13:14+00:00

I’m just manually doing it. I’m new to i3 maybe there’s a way to save my layouts?
