I think ZH is the language code for Chinese, while CN is just the country code

In Polish we use “24 godziny na dobę” which means 24 hours per day

That’s insane. If it doesn’t bother you, how did it feel? How long was the drive? What happened afterwards?

I know, but I figured I might as well use the occasion to joke around a bit

I’ve been using proton for a few months now with a yearly Mail Plus subscription and I have yet to receive an actual spam e-mail. Your experience might be different than mine since I take precautions not to invite spam in the first place, but even then, Proton looks to be doing an excellent job

Apps - Photo editing and 3D CAD are the main areas I’ve struggled with on Linux

Yeah, I feel that. Paint.net is the sole reason I still fire up my Windows VM every now and then.

The closest you can get is Pinta and even then, looking at the surface things may seem very similar, but the workflow is totally different (it doesn’t even have overscroll god damn it!) and the plugin scene is deader than dead. I wanted to code a proper replacement based on Pinta, but I haven’t got the motivation or time for that.

If I wanna edit an image, firing up a VM is still genuinely faster than trying to work with Pinta or GIMP or any other opensource alternative for that matter. Krita has surprisingly been pretty good at replicating the workflow, but it still falls short.

One of the reasons I like Thinkpads so much is the support of the community with mods, parts and so on. Feel free to hmu if you need Thinkpad help lol.

That’s specifically why I got mine. It’s a shame I couldn’t find good deals on a T440P in my area but even the regular T440 should be enough for my needs. Thanks for the link btw! Interesting that the T440 has a military certification lmao

oh damn, i didn’t realize you can get boards like that! i thought they all had the i3, so i didn’t bother to look. thanks a lot!

yeah that’s what i figured would happen, but it’s worth a shot anyway

For the past few years, I just install the latest stable version of anything I use and never bother touching or tweaking anything … never had a problem since.

And that’s exactly how I’m trying to approach everything after the reinstall. I like tinkering with my system, but after a couple months it really starts messing with everything.

It’s funny seeing this like literally a couple days after I decided it would be easier to reinstall my Mint sysyem than to fix the audio issues Pipewire was causing. I’m back on PulseAudio and haven’t had issues since.
