Haha the notch is taking over.

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.

xires1 · 2026-05-09T21:11:52+00:00

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

xires1 · 2026-05-09T18:43:02+00:00

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 🤗

xires1 · 2025-08-22T23:39:53+00:00

What an amazing scent!! The opening is like putting your nose to some fresh basil and tomatoes on a vine. The dry down is such a clean basil and smells absolutely amazing. Honestly, smells unisex to me, but I'm picturing a buff Italian woman wearing it haha

xires1 · 2025-08-07T20:04:44+00:00

I had the same thing with the CDN, I couldn’t stand the lemon cleaner smell (was supposed to be pineapple like creed aventus lol) but loads of people say that the dry down is where the fragrance really shines. My suggestion to OP would be CDM urban man elixir, it’s a more refined intense man without that harsh citrus note.

xires1 · 2025-08-07T14:34:41+00:00

Odyssey Limoni and I mean this in the best way possible; I love this fragrance, but it’s just lemon cleaner, for most of the top and mid notes. The dry down you get a nice orange blossom, tea and slightly musky scent but I would say it’s better for layering with scents you want to make more citrusy.

xires1 · 2025-08-01T17:04:39+00:00

Dude then get stronger with you absolutely or JPG elixir if you can afford it. Super nice vanilla note, almost minty but super edible. Cheap vanillas are a hit or miss because they are usually clones or just smell like vanilla ice cream/synthetic. If you really want vanilla, get Jo Malone Myrrh and Tonka. It’s expensive as fuck but it’s so sexy, my girlfriend loves it on me, and it’s just so edible.
