Today, I talk about the laptop I use every single day, and has written every script for every video on my channel.

You just convinced me to get my old rusty t430 out and install arch on it.

I’m glad! I think you’ll enjoy it!

i simply love that i discovered you with the 'how to develop characters' video and i saw that 3d modeled thinkpad and thought,.... wow ... that's specific ..... and now there's the reveal of the full thinkpad t430 w/ arch and everything !!!! (also i loved the bit talking about how it can be something that everyone can do with a bit of patience, but i guess talking about the gatekeeping in the linux community is beating a dead horse lsdfjdslk)

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed! And yeah, gatekeeping in the Linux community is frequently covered but I think it’s because we all inevitably have something we need help with, and getting answers can be needlessly difficult.

I got my T470 up and running Arch on it this week. I was running Mint XFCE for the longest time, but am really, really enjoying Arch. I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your video. I found your voice to be calming and I really loved your fox character! Take care.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I’m also glad you are enjoying your ThinkPad setup!

I have the same wallpaper 😄 and also a small pile of old laptops, including a Thinkpad, all with a different Linux distro installed on them

@KlulessKitsune Ай бұрын

Nice! It’s fun to throw Linux on old laptops. There’s just something charming about them.

I use a T430s with Arch(btw) , have had a great experience!

These are the last Thinkpads that you can replace the keyboards with the OG ones. I replaced the one on my x230 with a T510 I think. 😊

@KlulessKitsune Ай бұрын

I think you’re right. I’ve thought about doing the swap to a 7-row, but I’m still undecided.

@Opensky-12 Ай бұрын

Thanks ! But i can't find a Thinkpad T430 in my country. So i use now a Thinkpad X240 with Archlinux

@KlulessKitsune Ай бұрын

x240’s are cool too!

I just got my T480 quite cheap for broken wifi slot. I bought it because of my Legion 5 is such a pain in the a$$ to carry with. There's certain app that I can't run on Linux, so I do Hackintosh instead.

@KlulessKitsune Ай бұрын

A Hackintosh ThinkPad is definitely interesting. I've been tempted to try it, but I have very little familiarity with macOS, so I don't think I personally have need for it.

@KadalCj Ай бұрын

@@KlulessKitsune It was, and macOS my only option. I mainly use it to code, and my experience with Windows was not great. I've tried Hackintosh like 6 year ago with my previous MSI laptop. It quite time consuming to do config, like Arch (If I do WM). Nice video btw, subs.

@KlulessKitsune Ай бұрын

Thank you! I would think it’s probably more difficult than Arch, as Hackintosh is a modification of an otherwise very locked down system whereas Arch has always been an OS installed after purchasing the PC. Idk for sure, I’ve never done Hackintosh, but that would be my initial guess. I think Arch’s reputation as being really difficult is an artifact of the past. I know it used to be really hard, but today, the only issue a user is likely to run into is something of their own fault. (Like how I once accidentally deleted my mirrorlist, and in trying to copy from the backup mirrorlist, accidentally wiped that too lol)

Cool video man, i own and use on a daily basis the following Thinkpads....T500, T520, T420, T430, X1 Carbon and x201, all running various Linux distro's. The odd man out is my way old LG C500 also running Linux

@KlulessKitsune Ай бұрын

That’s a nice collection. I’ve only really used older ThinkPads, so how’s the X1 Carbon? They seem interesting, but I haven’t had a chance to see and try one in person yet.

@R4dm1n Ай бұрын

how the hell did you manage to have the same wallpaper that i have right now

@KlulessKitsune Ай бұрын

I mean, it’s such a good wallpaper

@rohmadabdulmaseh6845 Ай бұрын

i am hoping Win 11 and Thinkpad T430, but turned out to Arch Linux. Linux will run on anything, so yeah... no news here

@KlulessKitsune Ай бұрын

Yeah, modern Windows is just so… fat. It’s full of tons of stuff that feels so unnecessary, and I’m not even someone who cares too much about bloat. But, even with KDE Plasma and a bunch of other stuff, it’s still leaner than an out of the box installation of windows 11.
