#LibreOffice, #Krita, #Inkscape, and many other #Linux apps run well on #HaikuOS. The UI integrates about as well on Haiku as on #macOS.  Krita is sluggish on my #X200; LibreOffice is surprisingly snappy.

First post from #HaikuOS! Biggest usability issue is that my #ThinkPad #X200's screen is getting a bit dim. I'm using #QuickLaunch as my application launcher. To configure the keyboard shortcut, I tried to set /system/apps/QuickLaunch/QuickLaunch as the application path, but that just opens the enclosing folder. I had to use /boot/system/apps/QuickLaunch/QuickLaunch . Not sure what the distinction is.

Ok, I'll have to try it on another machine later. It just bogs down on my #OpenBSD #X200.

Created a sndionotify script to read the output of sndioctl -m on #OpenBSD and show notifications on dunst via notify-send whenever the volume changes.

Systray, schmistray. Widget, schmidget. I've got #scripts. :P

(Didn't need to create a script to change the volume like I did with brightness because the OS (or #Libreboot??) automatically handles the volume buttons on the #X200

24 SLOC ;)
(Could be less, but I'm not playing golf :P )

Anyone with experience with a "#USB C to 7.9*5.5mm Plug Converter Dc #PowerAdapter #ChargingCable Cord for #Lenovo #Thinkpad #X60 #T60 #T61 #X200 #X201 #X220 #X230"?

Or "USB Type C Adapter Female to 7.9*5.5mm Male #USBPD DC Converter for Lenovo Thinkpad Laptop Power Adapter Plug"?

Shall I buy one? TIA!

Wowsa...
8 seconds to pop open Firefox window from cold and populate it with *anything* under #Linux on my #X200
THIRTY seconds under #OpenBSD on the same machine.

The price we pay for security, comprehensibility, elegance, decent manpages, and... what else? Oh yeah, no ruddy systemd. XD

Also 8 seconds for Chromium under OpenBSD. #Optimizations

Running regular webshites like Github and Gmail on my #Libreboot #OpenBSD #Thinkpad #X200 feels like a betrayal of trust.

Sorry little buddy. :(

Ok, slightly confusing. Ran a test and my #Thinkpad #X200 runing #OpenBSD dies when the battery gets down to 48% (I disabled all services, remounted everything but /home and /tmp (ramdisk) as ro, and ran a loop that ran sync and apm -l to a file every minute)

The battery died at 48%. Now that I've got it plugged in and booted up all the way again, I see that the battery percentage is 22%

Ok, make up your mind, battery :P

@alper
Why not just #Debian?

Also, MX Linux.

I also have a #Librebooted #X200, and I wouldn't much like the bloat of Ubuntu on it.

Running Debian on it now, but I'd also consider MX, EndeavourOS, and maybe Void Linux (more advanced).

Started to compile #Guix on an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz...
See you tomorrow ? Haha

@libreleah Aand it's also pretty sweet that the main #libreboot dev likes rick and morty 😊 I have an #x200 I got from #minifree in 2015 (I think) favourite laptop since then.

@jrballesteros05 @hund what do you find expensive? I believe you can get a #thinkpad #x200 from vikings or minifree for less than 500$.
I have an #x200 which I really adore. It's incredibly tough, has a fantastic keyboard, is easy to service and repair, and fits in my backpack. It isn't a processing power monster though, and has no integrated webcam. But for my use it checks all the boxes

I really like this #lowtech blog, here's one of the many good articles. I also relate, having an old #x200 #thinkpad
How and why I stopped buying new laptops https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2020/12/how-and-why-i-stopped-buying-new-laptops.html

Oops, I think i don't have the tools to replace my hard drive haha…

#Lenovo #Thinkpad #x200

I've order a new hard drive for my #Lenovo #Thinkpad #x200. I plan to install #Guix System onto it !

Can't wait ⏳😄

Does someone successfuly #livestream-ed using a #Thinkpad #x200 from one of these vendors ? https://ryf.fsf.org/vendors
