ofc I imediatly upgraded it from winxp to gnu/linux
makes me think of the good ol’t times when the air was cleaner, roads were safer and our bosses used to pay us in Thinkpads, not this “fiat money” nonsense.
Good boss. What are you using it as? I’m guessing some homelab setup but will be interesting to know
so far using it as cd player and file writer, would’ve used it as a dvd player, but the video playback is not that great
I left mine as XP, keep it around for a couple of ancient ham radio apps.
Do they not work on wine?
For all I know, new versions probably run fine in current OSs. But I don’t own new versions. I could use open source stuff that has less features and less creature comforts, but then I also need to dedicate a newer laptop to the go box.
The whole point of that hobby is reliability and stability. Those old lenovos are tanks and I have spares for days.
