Just completed a fun project: Reviving the legendary ThinkPad X200! πŸ”₯
I've installed Linux Lite 7.4, which is based on the solid Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. This combination is a match made in heaven for older hardware like the X200. Linux Lite is specifically designed to be lightweight and fast, breathing new life into machines that might struggle with more resource-heavy operating systems.
