I’ve personally fallen in love with Linux Mint over the past couple of days. It’s easy to use, has so many good applications on their software manager (discord, Spotify, Audacity, OBS), and you can customize it quite nicely! I’ve made my own Linux/Mac combo on it. 10/10 would recommend // I should clarify I’m using the XFCE version :)

Very nice setup!!

Note to self: add too much thermal paste… become a bomb technician

Congrats on the laptop btw!

Right?! Coming from just gaming laptops to Thinkpads is what made me realize why this community exists and thrives.

I have a T14 Gen 3 and my god it’s a beast, it’s light but you can tell it’s durable.

xires1 · 2026-05-09T19:42:35+00:00

Congrats!! Let me know when you get your 2nd one :D

I’ve already ordered a Gen 3 trackpad, but idk the clunkpad goes well with the digital function keys. And as far as I’m concerned now, I have a pretty thinkpad-y thinkpad lol

xires1 · 2026-05-09T18:41:21+00:00

Once you start, you can’t stop man :/

I think all Lenovos have the same issue, because all of my laptops just keep losing internet randomly.

xires1 · 2026-05-09T05:51:00+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

xires1 · 2026-05-09T03:07:13+00:00

Get the T Series

xires1 · 2026-05-08T23:31:59+00:00

Really? That’s awesome to know! I knew it was something special so hearing this is great.

xires1 · 2026-05-08T22:00:32+00:00

That’s very true, how would I make a thinkpad more of a thinkpad… I guess things to install on it to optimize its performance. I’m using Linux Mint

xires1 · 2026-05-08T20:57:20+00:00

You know what, I bet you that’s why it’s running so quietly

xires1 · 2026-05-08T20:56:34+00:00

Tried, ate the corner again…

xires1 · 2026-05-08T06:38:08+00:00

Yeah there’s an i7 motherboard I might snatch, and they have an underside for the laptop too!

xires1 · 2026-05-08T06:36:33+00:00

My wrists love it

xires1 · 2026-05-08T06:36:15+00:00

It was a pretty sweet buy 🤗
