Vintage vibes, modern speed. 🖤

There’s something incredibly satisfying about running a lightweight OS on a classic machine. The ThinkPad X220 remains one of the best laptops ever built, and @mxlinux (Fluxbox edition) keeps it feeling brand new in 2026.☕️💻

Is your old laptop gathering dust? Don't recycle it yet—Linux it! 🐧✨

Why MX Linux 23.6 Fluxbox is the "Endgame" for ThinkPad X220 users.
1️⃣ Debian 12.10 Base: Stability of Debian with MX’s user-friendly tools. 2️⃣ Fluxbox Magic: Get the speed of a Window Manager with the ease of a Desktop Environment. 3️⃣ AHS (Advanced Hardware Support): Perfect driver support for the X220's Intel HD 3000 graphics and Wi-Fi. 4️⃣ Battery Life: Significantly less CPU overhead means more time away from the charger.
The X220 isn't a "legacy" machine anymore; with this setup, it's a daily driver.

Finally achieved peak performance: ThinkPad X220 + MX Linux 23.6 Fluxbox. The ultimate distraction-free setup.

Just finished a fresh install on my legendary X220. While modern distros are great, MX Linux 23.6 Fluxbox feels like it was made for this Sandy Bridge classic.

Why Fluxbox? XFCE is great, but Fluxbox on MX is a hidden gem. It’s incredibly snappy, and the MX-Fluxbox tools make window tiling and tabbing a breeze. The X220’s 7-row keyboard + Fluxbox keybindings = pure productivity.

If you have an old X-series gathering dust, do yourself a favor and try this combo. It doesn't just "run"; it flies. 🚀

Bin echt happy mit Manjaro Linux. Bastel immer mal wieder am Laptop rum und merke jedes Mal: Wenn man Linux einmal durchblickt, ist es eigentlich ziemlich einfach. Und ganz ehrlich: Datenschutz geht einfach vor. Genau deshalb will ich nichts anderes mehr.

A dark teal desktop with a single terminal window (xterm) open near the top-left. The terminal shows green ASCII art reading “Libranet” and text “Libranet GNU/Linux 2.7-Classic” followed by a shell prompt “sinclair@libranet:~$”. A taskbar runs along the bottom with small icons at left and a clock at the right displaying “09:04:11”. The mouse pointer is visible to the right of the terminal

Hmm... heard of this distro but never tried it before. Guess I will today if it works

A KDE desktop screenshot with a blue Caldera Systems wallpaper and icons down the left side (OpenStore, Register Now!, Autostart, Trash, Templates, Floppy, Floppy_2, CD-ROM). A "KDE Control Center" window is open in the center showing a left-hand tree of settings categories and system info on the right: KDE Version 1.1.2, User: sinclair, Hostname: the-mainframe.nodomain.nowhere, System: Linux, Release: 2.2.14, Machine: i686. The bottom taskbar shows virtual desktop buttons labeled One–Four, several application icons, and a clock reading "07:31 Jan 01."

Oh Caldera...

People seemed to like my Mandrake 7.2 install so have 5.1 too. Glad it worked this time :blobsmile:

#MandrakeLinux #Linux #RetroComputing #LinuxDistro #OpenSource #LinuxHistory #Tux #LinuxLife #Nostalgia #Unix #FOSS #TechThrowback #Mandriva #Mandrake

A blue KDE desktop screenshot with no open windows. Device and folder icons (Trash, Templates, Autostart, CDROM, FLOPPY, HOME, RPMmanager, XKill) run down the left side. A gray bottom panel shows workspace buttons labeled One–Four and small application icons; the clock reads '06:20 Jan 01'

A blue KDE desktop screenshot. A terminal window near the upper-right displays a root prompt and the output 'release 5.1 (Venice)'. Icons for Trash, Templates, Autostart, CDROM, FLOPPY, HOME, RPMmanager and XKill line the left side; a panel with application icons runs along the bottom and the clock reads '06:19 Jan 01'

A blue KDE desktop screenshot showing the KDE Control Center window centered. The control panel lists categories on the left and system details on the right (User: root, Hostname: localhost.localdomain, System: Linux, Release: 2.0.35, Machine: i686). A small 'About KDE' dialog overlaps the lower-right with text about the KDE project and an OK button. The bottom panel and taskbar icons are visible; clock reads '06:21 Jan 01'

Something has gone wrong heh. This was supposed to be Mandrake 5.1

Screenshot of Linux Mandrake 7.2 with the KDE 2.0 desktop environment. A blue “About KDE” window titled “K Desktop Environment. Release 2.0 Release Candidate 1” occupies the lower center and contains text and a small green cartoon dragon image. The desktop wallpaper is a pale yellow-to-white gradient filled with large stars and features a large anime-style girl on the right wearing a yellow blouse, blue skirt, star-shaped earrings and holding a staff topped with a star. A column of classic desktop icons (CD-ROM, Docs, Internet, Netscape, Printer, etc.) runs down the left edge, and a blue taskbar with application buttons and system tray sits along the bottom

All done :blobsmile:

The KDE panel is at the bottom of the screen with workspace switchers, a KDE Control Center button, and a clock reading 03:12

KDE’ye geçince Vivaldi’yi yeniden denedim ve beklediğimden daha iyi bir deneyim oldu.
Özelleştirme seviyesi hâlâ inanılmaz; 20+ sekmede bile tık yok. Kapalı kaynak kısmı tartışılır ama pratikte iş görüyor.

🔥 10 days on Fedora 43, and honestly… I’m amazed! I thought I’d be running back to openSUSE Tumbleweed in no time (as usual 😅), but Fedora 43 completely changed my mind.

It’s blazing fast, rock solid, and with my Btrfs + Snapper setup, I’ve got full rollback capability just like on openSUSE — total peace of mind. 🧘‍♂️

This might actually be the distro that keeps me around for a while. 👀💻

@sjvn Just gave my 12-year-old #Apple #MacBook Pro a fresh life with Linux Mint. 🚀

On newer machines I go for #Ubuntu, but here I happily skipped #GNOME and went for #KDE. Smooth, fast, and still rocking ~2h battery life. Proof that old hardware can shine again! 💻✨
