QUOTE(akhito @ Dec 6 2025, 10:29 AM) Nah I used arch be4 at first the shining all customizable feeling oh yeah and but then the headache after new update and troubleshooting really not worth it, back to start Mtint of course if this is your only system then Mint is more suitable. |

QUOTE(AbbyCom @ Dec 6 2025, 10:33 PM) That's the reason I don't buy the shopee batteries, they don't last that long, difficult to find used original batteries still in good condition. I got my T430s new original battery in Imbi Plaza in 2017 after cannot find any in Lowyat Plaza. But I really like the Lenovos for their upgradability since a few generations (or even different models) will usually share common parts. The X260 battery I harvested from a dead T460. Sometimes can find some hidden gem there.  AbbyCom liked this post

QUOTE(ZerOne01 @ Dec 7 2025, 08:01 AM) Obligatory I use arch btw VLC crashes 2x while watching MKV videos.  Apparently Arch Linux is too high tech for ancient Thinkpads. My Intel HD4000 beh tahan liao. ZerOne01 liked this post
