More like “The absolutely first thing I’ll do on this machine is install Linux on it”
I found a 2010 MacBook in a recycle bin. I happened to have a spare charger at home.
I took it, installed Linux, and now I have 3 rescued laptops brought back to life with Linux.
3 more and I’m going to start hosting LAN parties (WAN parties, I guess)
Followup memes anyone can steal.

Asking out of curiosity, what makes these better than other consumer based ones with fwupdmgr support?
From my experience with a modern Thinkpad (A485); nothing if not outright inferior. The trackpoints on them are pretty terrible compared to classic IBM-era thinkpads (10-20hz polling rate, abysmal velocity curve). The physical durability of the machine might be above-average for business laptops, but the chance of the hardware failing in some major way within warranty seems to be quite high (among other replacement parts, I had 4-5 mainboard replacements done under warranty). The cooling solution on the Thinkpad I used to use was also a fair bit inadequate, and would lead to severe thermal throttling of the mid-range APU. Honestly between the reliability and torturous process to even buy a new Thinkpad from Lenovo, I just wouldn’t bother.
modern ones have 10-20hz polling rate on trackpoints? that’s actually atrocious wtf
I only have experience with 10yo+ models and I think I’m glad lmao
it’s the trackpoint that does it for me
Just try to install Linux for gaming on an XPS 15 with a 4k oled screen and an Nvidia GPU and not have anything break.
Stupid-ass Linux fanboys. So fucking dumb.
E: I’m so glad all the raving lunatics below proved my point about the entire Linux fandom. You’re all crazed cunts.
E2: the fact that I have a certain machine and you guys attack the machine instead of defending the ability of Linux to be installed Oh so easily on it, says everything we need to know about how trashy and unmaintained, hard to install, broken crack-pipe-esque Linux is.
Sounds like you just didn’t try hard enough buddy.
XPS15
I stopped reading there. Congratulations, or sorry that happened.
I’ll feed the troll. Have you tried archlinux on your prebuilt overpriced space heater?
You come to a community called linuxmemes and comment on a joke calling Linux fanboys stupid. Tell me, do you know how to fix your windows machine when it throws an error or do you just click on report it to Microsoft? Dell saw you coming and said let’s get this asshole’s money. You throw 4k oled out there on a 15 inch screen like it some fancy ass shit. Boy, you better have your eyeball on that screen if you think you can see a difference between 4k and 1080p on such a small screen Stupid ass Windows endusers. Go back to reddit and enjoy your consumer grade shit. We’re here to break shit and run doom.
If you weren’t so right it wouldn’t be so sad.
@aviationeast yo man chill damn
