Take a look at Minifree Ltd. For less than USD $500, you can get a decent ThinkPad with Libreboot and your choice of Linux distro (KDE Debian is installed by default).

Finally, some love for my boy Yamcha.

You could always hop over to https://frame.work and pick up a refurbished Intel mainboard plus an enclosure (or 3D print your own using their plans). You’d just need to get some RAM and a small SSD to run an OS like TrueNAS and you’d be good to go for probably under USD $600.

I think Halo is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything.

If you switch that drop down that says “Korea” to “All regions”, do you get results? I confirmed that if I switch that to Korea it filters out results.

I got my Framework 13 in February 2022 and I love it. I’ll end up getting the AMD mainboard when it becomes more widely available, then take my old mainboard and RAM, put them in an enclosure, and make that my new NAS. Then my current NAS, which is just a Raspberry Pi, I’ll turn that into a PiHole.

Near me is a dive bar on the river called Kuchie’s on the Water and it’s home to some of the most disgusting “food” you’ve ever seen.

I’m pretty sure this is a reference to Austin Powers, where he’s giving the Irish hitman a swirly in a casino bathroom and yelling “WHO DOES NUMBER 2 WORK FOR” while a gambler played by Tom Arnold in the next stall is trying to encourage him on.

That’s right, show that turd who’s boss!

Well shit, better stop using the distro I’ve been happy with for over a year and a half.

Fedora does the same thing where you can choose between RPM or Flatpak. The only flatpak package I’ve ever had problems with was OnlyOffice, and the issue was that the scaling was blown way out of proportions. Switching to the RPM version resolved that.

Right? I mean what other chocolate sandwich cookie is “overflowing with nut”?

You literally can’t go wrong with a Brother b&w laser printer.

Check out Minifree Ltd. They refurbish old Thinkpads, replace the bootloader with libreboot, and come with encrypted Debian KDE. They offer either the T440p or the X230, and you can choose different SSD and RAM configurations. Prices are as low as £258.00 for the X230 with 16GB of RAM and a 480 GB SSD.
