So.

After long time of… desire… I ordered an used T430, for a bit below 100 euro. It seemed in a good state, had SSD, and 1600x900 screen, so, seemed good enough for that price. Albeit no battery, but I don’t need one.

Now I am excited, waiting. Though, still not sure, if I will slap NixOS on it, or maybe go wild, and maybe… Guix, or OpenBSD.

And maybe I will use that as excuse to finally poke keyboard-oriented web browsers as well, e.g Nyxt, qutebrowser, but will see

Caan’tttt waittttt

    I haven’t tried NixOS yet, but many things about it appeals to me. I could put it on my old laptop I guess.

      It is very much a nice distro.

      Some things it does so well, for example, it took away all the pain, in regards to using ZFS, and nvidia drivers. It just works. No messing with “Will this kernel work with nvidia?” and such.

      And if something does break, being able to still use, the pre-update system, is just life saver sometimes.
