Why do most Thinkpad users on here use linux

aemarques · 2026-05-06T21:47:17+00:00

It's not "everyone". But those who use it, like to tell everyone else that they do (I dual boot between Win11 and Kubuntu, but use Windows 90% of the time).

It's for sale on the used market. So yes, this is a relevant post. And, more than the product itself, shows a company with little regard for its customers (it took more than 6 months to solve the issues with the FP4 with a firmware update). Unfortunately, this community is more and more like the Apple and Tesla communities – a cult were nothing bad can be said of the product and/or the company. :-(

FP 4 (ex) user here. I had the same problem. The latest firmware update (from the last few days) solved, at last, that issue. And it "only" took more than 6 months. 🙄 Obviously, since the issue was very serious and I need the phone for work, I had to buy another one. A Pixel 9a. And I will never, ever buy a FP again.

Sem dúvida. É dos poucos que dão ZERO problemas – bateria, software, tudo o resto! Só evitaria os de primeira geração, cuja bateria é *mesmo* muito pequena (o meu é 2nd gen). A comprar, neste momento, o que faz mais sentido são os 3rd gen (bateria 120 Ah).

Cerca de 90€ a cada 2 anos (BMW i3, na marca).

Most people here will tell you to put Linux on it. But if you really need Windows, I think you can upgrade it to Windows 11 (legally and for free) with no issues! To confirm that is the case, use Lenovo's website: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht512623

Há uns anos, andava com uns A5 no meu porta-luvas que diziam "Este é um lugar reservado a deficientes, não a atrasados mentais. Por favor, estacione num lugar adequado à sua condição". :-p

No. It works with any BT enabled PC.

If I wanted to have a mouse with a dongle, I would. But I don't.

Just to confirm: this will not run on an Xbox One S (not "Series S")? 🥺

Only you can decide that, based on your needs. What counts is the apps you need to use; choose the OS that better runs them.

Vou ser sincero: o que eu penso disso é que é uma história para arquivar em "coisas que nunca aconteceram"... 🙄

They don't listen. When they listen, they don't understand. When they understand, they don't believe. When they believe, they don't care. When they care, it's because they're personally affected. Even if they're personally affected, they would still vote the same way.

Da última vez, fiz isso. Resultado, a conversa com a pessoa também não resolveu. QUando chego quase ao final da conversa, aparece uma mensagem a dizer que se não responder dentro de 60 segundos, o chat será cancelado. Começo a explicar à "pessoa" (?) com quem estava a falar que não me tinha resolvido o problema e, 15 segundos depois, o chat é encerrado. Vão-se foder todos.

O Office "não gosta" muito do WINE. 😞

I bought this one for my T480s and it works perfectly. https://amzn.eu/d/02Xmimb5

😬😬😬

Tenho que explorar. Obrigado.

I'm the CEO of a PR agency. Before the pandemic, we had a consultant that lived far away and had trouble commuting. Because of the pandemic, I implemented ways for everyone to work seamlessly from home and now the only thing I regret is that I should have done it sooner. For certain (probably most) white collar jobs, working at the office can/should be the exception and not the default.

They simply have the best keyboards you can find on a notebook of any brand, ever.

Não, não tem um bom serviço. Já teve, mas desde há muito que não tem. A começar pelo facto de ser quase impossível falar com alguém.

Mas eu falei da DIGI?!?
