ThinkPad X9 14 Gen 1: Leider doch nicht ganz perfekt

Der ThinkPad X9 gefällt mir ausnehmend gut. Für mich die perfekte Ausstattung, wunderbare Tastatur und Touchpad, ich vermisse nichts.

Aber ich habe relativ häufig kleine Probleme: Aktuell wacht die Netzwerkkarte nicht immer aus dem Standby auf. Und dann hilft nur Reboot. Das kostet Zeit und ich verliere den Kontext.

@wyatt It's 50$ for just a fan :dragnsweats: ? Holy wings!

I've checked a local prices – I can buy a #Thinkpad X220 fan for 5$ and the whole cooling system for 12$. And a cooling parts without the fan costs 6$

Looks like "retro" computing saves money :dragnsmirk:

Follow up:

Got the (new to me) T14 Gen3 #ThinkPad and installed #Fedora 41 on it. Despite being a used machine, it is in better condition than my daily driver MacBook Pro from 2021.

Also, damn, this thing seems like it was made for Linux. Everything worked out of the box flawlessly.

The only snag was that it wouldn't boot from a USB C SD card reader but was fine from a USB-A reader (... weird).

On my spare #Thinkpad P52s laptop, I've installed #Debian #Trixie, using the alpha installer.

I've tested the advanced installer because I wanted to check if the systemd-boot loader works during installation, which it does.

I'm staying with #XFCE because I tried both #KDE and #GNOME, and both have issues for me, with the former being a little unstable in its current transition state.

But all things considered, #Trixie is looking to be a solid release. In #XFCE, it's been as rock solid in use as my #Bookworm #Stable installation on my main desktop.

The only small niggle I'm currently checking is that the external 4K monitor sometimes doesn't correctly set after login on power up with the laptop lid closed. It is set as Primary display, without mirrored displays, so each can have unique settings and resolution.

I'll keep doing twice-weekly updates on #Trixie and see how things go. Any bugs, I'll check if already logged or otherwise log new ones. But so far, as I say, I've had none.

Ахах, год про него не вспоминал, а как купил себе ещё кабель магнитный, так и вспомнил. Оказывается, что если подключить этот магнитный переходник к коннектору type c, то будет только зарядка. В ноутбуке вообще идёт определение устройства и отключение.
Весело. И очень странно выглядит это действие.

Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 💩 and not worth the trouble.

🤷 Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in

So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 🤦‍♂️

Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.

Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.

Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11

Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

A ThinkPad P70 workstation laptop, in the process of being rebuilt: Windows 11 having bin installed, now installing all the applications. The HWiNFO application is displayed on the screen, showing the specifications of the laptop.

@martinschlegel @Extelec Pretty much any version of #NetBSD should run on a #ThinkPad T23 out of the box, and #pkgsrc will include the ~latest #firefox. I tested it on a ThinkPad T41, which is only two years more recent than the T23 - youtu.be/jYS4TcgxMxU

Now, whether you can do anything *useful* in modern Firefox on a 1GB 32 bit machine... not so much

#PaleMoon or #ArcticFox are pretty capable browsers which run well on smaller machines - and #Dillo will *scream* on that spec hardware 😛
