Gave my reliable ThinkPad X240 a fantastic upgrade! ✨ Just installed Zorin OS 17.1 Core.
This OS is perfect for breathing new life into older hardware like the X240 – fast, stable, and incredibly user-friendly if you're coming from Windows or macOS.
Check out my guide/video on how to install it! 👇 [youtu.be/7TJV8Z6Pfbs]

Breathed new life into my trusty Lenovo ThinkPad X240! 💪 I recently installed Zorin OS 17.1 Core on it, and wow, what a difference it makes! The X240 is still a solid machine, and pairing it with Zorin OS 17.1 makes it feel fast and modern again. Zorin OS is designed to be easy to use, especially if you're transitioning from Windows or macOS, with familiar layouts and tons of great features out-of-the-box. It's a fantastic choice for reviving older laptops that might struggle with newer versions of proprietary OSs. I put together a video/guide showing the step-by-step installation process on the X240. Thinking about installing Zorin OS or another Linux distro on your older hardware? Check it out! 👇 [https://youtu.be/7TJV8Z6Pfbs] What's your favorite OS for older laptops?

Bringing a true vintage ThinkPad back to life! ✨ Installed Linux Lite 7.4 (based on 24.04 LTS) on my old X200.
Linux Lite is PERFECT for minimal hardware like this. Makes the X200 usable again for basic tasks!
Check out my installation guide/video! 👇 [youtu.be/IwjP20Mt-_g]

Just completed a fun project: Reviving the legendary ThinkPad X200! 🔥 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. Using the X200 with Linux Lite feels surprisingly snappy for its age. It's perfectly capable of handling web Browse, document editing, and other light tasks. It's amazing how a modern, optimized Linux distribution can make even a vintage laptop useful again! I've created a detailed video/guide showing the step-by-step installation process on the X200, as well as demonstrating its performance. 📺 Watch the guide here: [https://youtu.be/IwjP20Mt-_g] Got an old laptop collecting dust?

Don't let your old laptop collect dust! There are several smart ways to repurpose it, from turning it into a home server to a dedicated gaming console.

Things that I could do with an old laptop, that works but is now sitting around, not being useful...

How about hosting my own instance with GoToSocial - A fast, fun, ActivityPub server

I have an old 2012 laptop, and AntiX Linux is the best choice for it. It's also one of my favorite distros. Respect to the AntiX team!

I got this older laptop (lifebook e743) for around 14€ at a local marketplace. It had no charger, no hdd, no ram, no battery but for doing a little coding on the go, it is perfect. I had to change the charging plug to be able to power it with a charger i had on hand. Fortunately it works without the id pin. I choose manjaro as the OS and so far i like it. I will craft a custom battery for it in the future for sure too

Finally got my hardware brightness buttons to work in #BunsenLabs.

1. With root permission, append this string:
acpi_backlight=native
Between the quotes in the line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_DEFAULT=" "
Which is found in the file:
/etc/default/grub

2. Run in terminal:
sudo update grub

3. Reboot

4. Use hardware backlight keys as normal.

This took me over a week of scorched retinae to unearth. Now i post it here.

#retrocomputing and #OldLaptop fans: anyone want a CardBus to ExpressCard/34 adapter? With/without a Huawei-built Vodafone-branded (ostensibly not locked) HSDPA/3G/GPRS data card?

Looks like a battery replacement is in my near future. How safe would it be to turn on to drain the battery without this uh... exploding?

Ordered two parts to revive my old uni laptop! Both said 2-day delivery. One took two days...the other...five days in, still waiting. It would be less frustrating to have none of it, than to have half of what I need but not the other half!

So, last week my latest laptop expired, 'beyond economic repair' so I'm, temporarily using this nearly 10 year old, secondhand 'brick'
At least the cat seems to enjoy it...
