Seeing Windows on a Thinkpad feels weird. I better go back to Unixporn to feel better.
My thoughts exactly… Where are the tiling WMs?
Arch+sway my beloved
As an i3 guy for over a decade, sell me on sway? Just out of curiosity.
Sway is on wayland and wayland together with systemd is the best thing that ever happened to Linux.
/me throws a smoke bomb to the floor and runs away laughing.
i think the biggest argument against i3 is wayland. Past that i’m probably waiting for i3 2 electric boogaloo. It’s such a good piece of software.
is a 99% compatible replacement for i3, just using Wayland instead of xorg. this means better multimonitor and u get some extra frames meow w
i dont think it runs well with a nvidia gpu tho, so just aheads up for that meow
As an Arch + Hyprland Thinkpad user seeing a beautiful Thinkpad being ruined by Windows hurts. Free them from their Microsoft prison already.
I don’t even use windows anymore apart from my work laptop, where I can’t install stuff on my own anyway, but that still made me look up options for tiling window managers on windows rn. (Tiling windows managers amiright)
Maybe it’s my age, but I’ve only ever known IBMs as DOS and Windows machines.
What about hackintosh on a thinkpad?
thats a cool coverup/origin story for your thinkpad collection
Yeah I don’t expect there are many tech employees working with Windows Thinkpads.
I worked for one of the biggest tech companies in the UK, we used Thinkpads for our dev work. They’re solid machines with good specs and excellent warranties. Big companies love them.
I’ve worked for tech companies in SV and I’ve never seen a developer without a MacBook.
Ah yes the only laptops/desktops that pit alien ware to shame for the price to performance ratio.
The X1 Carbon is one of the best developer laptops there is, but I would never tarnish one with Windows
Mostly finance guys…
i work at a tech company and everyone here runs company mandated windows on their company thinkpads
you would be surprised… i cannot use linux and have a thinkpad assigned. i need to change company…
Wheres the tiling WMs? Wheres the fastfetch? Wheres the cool looking rice? Wheres the programming socks? Wheres the obligatory Blåhaj?
It’s unethical to keep a ThinkPad in the conditions on display in the photo
All Thinkpads (even the lower quality and less upgradable newer ones) deserve a loving Linux Transfem :3
Who says it needs to be a transfem, there are cool linux nerds of the transmasc and enby variety as well.
TwinkPad the best bait to kidnap the queers™
You could totally kidnap me if you offered me a x220
dude 100%
“I’m looking for a man in finance”
Does that make you a laptoprostitute?
I don’t see any MacBook Pros. I assume the tech guys work in SaaS.
…hey wait a sec, I think I see my laptop in there!
Had to check this wasn’t a LinkedIn post.
