Just got my T420 in the mail, what Linux distro should I install? Was thinking about Fedora.
windows 10
>>54744460
Cuck.
>>54744431
Hackintosh
>>54744431
Winrar
>>54744431
Install Ubuntu
>>54744431
Gentoo. Anything else is for kids.
>>54744431
I put Gentoo on my T420, works great.
>>54744431
Send it back, get a PowerPC Thinkpad and install IBM i. That will get your sufficient nerdcred.
>>54744431
I'm waiting for my t420. I'm so excited
>>54744431
Open it and clean it first, you never know what the last owner was like.
Then W7 and your favorite Linux OS.
>>54744431
Enjoy your usb 2.0

>what is expresscard USB3
Arch.
Windows seven
>>54744431
Deepin
>>54745109
>meme os on a meme laptop
I like the way you think anon
windows xp
>>54745123
I wasn't a huge fan of standalone deepin as an OS but the deepin de isn't bad at all with arch. It's like an osx styled de.
>>54745090
Slower than real USB3

You shouldn't install any distro. Or windows. Or hackintosh.
Just set it down and never look at it again.
Sit in your chair staring blankly into the wall and reconsider you life choices.
It is just me or do thinkpads get really "finger greasy" fast? I wash my hands. I clean the keyboard. Yet they always end up with that shiny, slippy look and feel to them
its true, i notice it already
I use Fedora on my T420, works fine
Gentoo if you've time on your hands. Debian Sid if you've shit to do.
>>54748602
Good non-meme advice here. I eventually settled on Ubuntu on my T410 because I actually need to use it and idgaf son.
If I was unemployed again I'd be all over Gentoo like Clinton on Lewinsky though.
DOS
TempleOS
Almost.
>>54744591
You mean AIX, i was for AS/400, the PPS thinkpads didn't have the microcode to run OS/400
>>54744431
Dedian, Fedora, openSUSE
Ubuntu just werks if it's a work machine.
Otherwise debian to gitgud then gentoo.
>>54744431
RHEL
>>54744431
how much dried semen was inside the chassis and on the sweet TP keyboard? a lot? just a little?
you wacky /g/angsters
>>54748738
What made you go with Ubuntu? Over say mint?
>bought a T520 new, from the factory for a little over 500$ with a 1600x900 screen, fingerprint reader, and bluetooth
>everyone buying them beat up and off lease for over 200$ now
What a weird feeling to see people so happy to be buying these. I was chastised by /g/ when I bought the thing 5 years ago.
>>54744431
FreeBSD
>>54745063
it doesn't have an IPS screen either
chromebooks are the new thinkpads, it's just gona take some time for /g/ to realize it as usual
>>54744431
I have a T400 with Windows 8.1 and Xubuntu. I heard about a Linux dostro from a friend at work. It's called Solus OS. I think I'm gonna make a live USB and try it out when I get home. I highly recommend Xubuntu or Ubuntu MATE. Both are really nice.
