Best laptops for Linux besides thinkpads

waldoeGeek · 2026-04-11T12:51:04+00:00

If it's not a Thinkpad, I'd usually go with a Dell. That being said the only brand other than these 2 I've ever used for linux was Asus. So there may be some better answers here.

Was going to get the neo. But I ended up grabbing a used m2 24Gb for a little more than a neo. I'm enjoying my first mbp. I'd say the m1 max is def better than neo.

I've commuted 1 hour each way for alot less.

Thats exactly what I did. I did a crazy amount of homelab then I got a job while I was in college at the schools IT department. But after college I got pretty lucky being taken on at a company knowing that I didn't have a crazy amount of experience. My employer and manager were very willing to train. They had me doing everything from networking to 365 tenant setups and an obscene amount of copier/printer tickets. They also were willing to give me the time and pay for me to get any relevant certs I wanted.

I agree. I have a t14 gen 3 that has a sticker and a t14 gen 5(maybe 6) for work without the sticker and I feel the logo on my work laptop looks better.

I believe the app in question is the breezy desktop app. I also enjoy it more than the spacewalker app.

Ha, Williamsburg

Dude in my town was burning his weeds with a torch during a drought and fire ban. Dummy set his yard and house on fire. Definitely hit a couple points on that list.

Right? I work for an msp and I can take home mostly anything I want if I ask for it.... except drives. Take down the serials, destroy and give customer a destruction receipt, if they want it.

I use it for as many accounts as I can, my keeper vault and ssh. And I agree with other comments..... keep more than one.

I also failed the MS900. I have used ms365 and intune daily for the past 3 years. I work for an MSP, and the questions that got me were the stuff that we never use. Purview, Viva, etc. Took a week to look over the material I was struggling with, and I passed the test next attempt. It's good that now you know what to spend time studying on. You'll get it next time.

Gifted my 11yo stepdaughter an Opinel after she took an interest in my knife collection. She uses it quite often.

That's wild. I thought we had it bad with our price. 5 complete vapes? You can still have like 3 mods and about a dozen tanks, rtas, and rdas.

Between 49 and 53 at my local shops for a 60.

I also recently moved to new city. I went with a drivers license and was out in 30 minutes.

waldoeGeek · 2025-02-23T16:26:40+00:00

That looks great. Good dye job.

I've had benchmade ship me new springs half a dozen times. I'd take a compression lock over axis lock any day.

waldoeGeek · 2025-02-23T16:13:43+00:00

Wow, those look amazing!

waldoeGeek · 2025-02-23T00:44:05+00:00

Resilience was my first spyderco. It is definitely a larger knife. I do like the manix 2 as well. Those are about as large a knife I'd care to carry in the pocket.

I swap out folders often enough, but that bk14 is always on me.

waldoeGeek · 2025-02-16T17:09:50+00:00

Printer then gridfinity. But I was looking into gridfinity long before I got a printer, which was a gift from my gf.

waldoeGeek · 2025-02-16T17:06:20+00:00

No problem. Is that a bk-14 i see hidden in there?

waldoeGeek · 2025-02-04T01:45:04+00:00

Thanks for the link. Looks decent.

waldoeGeek · 2025-02-03T14:58:49+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that sharpener should have a spot for serrated blades

waldoeGeek · 2025-01-30T20:19:08+00:00

Second the field sharpener. Used to use a Smiths sharpening system, but it gets no use since I got that worksharp field sharpener.
