Upgrading the ram of my x240 is my therapy

Arch users
LinuxFromScratch usersThe voices in my head says “daily drive ParrotOS”
My right index finger still has an indent from using the clit-mouse to play Starcraft on a Thinkpad 25 years ago.
What if I do both?
Gonna tell me you’re gonna install grass on arch (btw) next.
grassis on the AUR… https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grassI’m not even surprised.
What, doing your therapist and arch installs?
I mean can thearopy give me a neofetch?
Unlike therapy, installing Arch on a Thinkpad works more often than not
I’m just gonna promote the benefits of therapy. I learned to love myself. I think this meme is about hating yourself, so I think it fits. Only semi-serious, no hate intended.
I think it is more about rage control than about loving or hating oneself. Like stopping yourself from chucking the laptop halfway across the room when it doesn’t boot because you misspelled a variable in a config file.
Eh… I get the joke, but using Arch is about loving computing. All the other OSes have removed the human element of computing. Arch still lets you control and administer your computer, which is good fun for weirdos like me.
Wait. Am I not allowed to mess with stuff, use the terminal, compile, and all those things in Mint!?
Call the manager. I want my money back!
absolutely and completely forbidden! somebody call the tuxpolice!
I was asking for a friend!
Of course you can. But in Arch you must do a lot of things that are optional in other distros, and you install your packages explicitly, only including what you want.
Must isn’t better that can - to have choice taken away from your, there’s always Windows or, even better, MacOS.
Meh, Arch users like it. Plus not having stuff you don’t want or don’t use on your OS makes it snappier and easier to update and maintain.

Holy shit I almost spit my coffee all over my arch ThinkPad that’s funny
you had me until “All”
Btw, i use Artix.
I am unsure, I feel like Google is watching me and selling my data to OP because I was only yesterday ogling a Thinkpad Yoga X1 precisely for this purpose.
Get a refurb T14 for (relatively) nothing before going hardcore.
Excuse me! I would never buy a thinkpad.
why not? They’re sick laptops. Just don’t buy the new ones, they’re cringe.
Good, keep the prices low for the smart people who do.
low prices
On a Thinkpad!? Unless you’re buying a last-generation one that’s on clearance, that’s a laugh.
A last generation ThinkPad is still going to be a beast you can get 6-7 years out of. I have a gen2 X1 that was still a beast until the offspring spilled a Coke on it.
homie you can get a t480 for like 150 dollars. For an 8th gen intel mobile chip that’s not a bad price.
All in on an older t420 or something you’ll be looking fairly similar, including battery, charger, and storage, unless you get a really good deal.
Bro, they cost £300 on Ebay in the UK (a refurbished t480 with an 8th Gen Core i7)
you can routinely find i5 variants here in the US for that price. Im sure the i7 models are more expensive, those are sought after, but frankly as long as the i5 models have 4 cores, they’re fine. Last i checked a t480 running a quad core i5 is 75% of my r5 2600, which is more than enough for mild productivity work.
Well yeah I guess if you’re buying a used machine from six years ago with millions in existence because tons of businesses bought them it’ll be cheap no matter what manufacturer it’s from. Thinkpads do hold up better against age than most.
yup

Men?
It’s the meme format:
“Men will literally (something) but not go to therapy”
People who use it don’t necessarily endorse the original view, but are making fun of it.
I think their joke was that Thinkpad Arch users (at least online) have a strong correlation with trans women
Ha, ok, I definitely got whooshed then.
Exactly this (sent from my Arch Thinkpad as a trans woman)
What?
Sorry you had to find out this way
'tis true
Oh don’t worry I know - I was implying that there’s a heavy correlation between Thinkpad Arch users and trans girls, at least online. See [email protected]
Who needs therapy when you have pacman?
And yay
And paru

Incidentally:
- which models are the best new old?
- what are the best places to get them?
…asking for a friend.
Old MacBook Airs make great Linux machines. EBay is a good place to look for them
