Thanks for sharing. It is useful for us noobs to have a look at the configs of more experienced users.
I second this. If the thinkpad is very old and weak (like before core i? or celeron stuff) you may have a better luck with an XFCE-based distro. I installed MX Linux on an old laptop (2nd gen i7 mobile) and felt snappier than anything, quite stable, and simple to use for newbies. Otherwise, if it is not an ancient laptop, just follow the advice of /u/rimu@lemmy.nz
And that's how we will all end up in another reddit-hell. Peasants first
That's the dream. Based on RISC-V, a whole open hardware system working with free software, without bloatware and similar nonsense could become available.
Perhaps, it would be a laptop since most/all RISC-V designs are far more efficient than the best ARM.
I think we can just start creating some fundamental communities and see where they go. In reddit there are too many variations of the same theme and they are mostly successful (for many reasons - main being the number of users). Here we only need one per niche subject.
That's the dream! Having systems that are free in every sense.
I am not sure I understand the hype over the immutable distros. I get that it may be important for large deployments (e.g. a company of 500 people starting with the exact same desktop and remain compatible) but don't really get the benefit for the average GNU/Linux user, especially those of us that like tinkering with our PC. I can't see myself installing one of those but perhaps I am missing the point.
I think you can do that with the default app but I don't use Ubuntu/Gnome and may be wrong. I hope this link may give you a starting point: https://www.tecmint.com/take-or-capture-desktop-screenshots-in-ubuntu-linux/
The cleaners have gone on strike. And since you can't expect the royals and their bureaucracy to start doing any real work, they have gone on holiday too. The soldiers are just pawns who are trained to make a mess; not clean it up. I think we are playing the wrong game here.
