I bought one of these as you suggested as a secondary laptop and installed Linux on it but now I find that using it for a few hours causes my eyes to start hurting. Something about the screen must be wrong because I only get it when I use this laptop. Any suggestions?
Workout your eyes, do you even blink?
I bet you dont even know what whey is..

I had two T60s before and never had this problem.

I don't think that will matter since I get eye strain even if I use it during the day and don't use it in the dark. I'll give it a shot at nighttime anyway, maybe it can reduce blues.

You get what you deserve.
No shit, the screen is beyond terrible.

/g/ and the ThinkPad guide told me to. I didn't know it had a shit screen, what should I look for?

I meant what kind of screen.
OP if you're still here you should take a look at this: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/pulse_width_modulation.htm
The tl;dr is that actually implementing brightness changes on LED displays is hard, so many screens just flash the backlight on and off quickly enough to fool people's eyes. But some laptop screens flicker too slowly to work perfectly and cause issues with eye strain.
There's a fix for it on laptops running Linux: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=159817

I'm still here.
I will give that a try. Hopefully it works with Xubuntu.

Upgrade to an IPS screen anon, it's literally the only way to make an X2xx series thinkpad not shit.

Try turning down the brightness and installing redshift.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
Same problem here. I experience the same feeling of dried eyes with my x201 as I have with my 15 years old LCD monitor.
I reduce the shit of the brightness and dark colors in my terminal when I still want to look at the screen for hours.
