They definitely know that it runs arch though
Naturally. I have the Arch logo tattooed on my forehead.
Well, I’m glad you didn’t die before enjoying your AMD variant of the Thinkpad T16 Gen 2 specced to the gills.
Not to ruin your fun, but in my opinion anything after the T400 series is no good. More and more components were designed to be non replaceable. Really it started with the end of the IBM era but they were still really good for a while after. Now i would always go for repair focused designs like framework, system76, etc
I had a budget, Lenovo in my country was having a massive sale, and this is my first Thinkpad, so I have nothing to compare it to.
Also,
Yeah i knew i was being a party pooper, but still wanted to share my negative experience with modern thinkpads for other people to be aware of. I hope your T16 serves you well without issue :D
Thank you for being sincere in this reply; you could easily have gotten defensive. And sorry if my reply seemed overly snarky. I’m not very good at social media.
Also, I would like to say that this is why I love Lemmy. The community is just so much friendlier and more empathetic than a place like Reddit. Thank you for reinforcing my perception.
Lemmy is my first ever “social media” so i have no comparison whatsoever. I feel like its easy to be an asshole on the internet, but usually much more rewarding not to be :)
