I use a T440p and it works amazing for lightweight gaming (tested so far: Fallout NV, BTD6, Minecraft, and Enter the Gungeon)

Graphic designers makes sense, also a PNG made in a proprietary program can be viewed with any photo viewer. Documents editors are completely different.
Why should there be? If someone wants more expensive software then they should pay for it.
That would genuinely make sense though, proprietary software (especially paid proprietary software) costs more money for any company then open source software. Windows needs more maintenance then an ultra stable Linux distro like Debian or even an LTS release of Ubuntu or Fedora. Meanwhile Microshaft ensures that any document made with office doesn’t look the same unless it’s viewed with office.
What? No genuinely which company is docking employees for using unfree software. If anything it’s the opposite.
You can exit vim but you can never quit
I’m glad people are starting to care about digital privacy even after three decades of people like me being annoying
I’m glad I don’t use Winbloat
Womp womp, that’s what happens when you shut down the global economy clownstrike
Repairability and upgradability are incredibly important factors, when my computer breaks why should I need to buy a new one? Heck why should it break at all, old computers were built to last.
I’m pretty sure the T440p is the newest one and it’s 2013. They messed up in the sense that modern Thinkpads are starting to solder components and overall the build quality is worse.
Yeah but if a laptop is old enough to support Libreboot that means it was released before Lenovo messed it up
I personally prefer the Thinkpad keyboard
I’m aware, however Chromium (or rather Ungoogled Chromium) should only be used if a website doesn’t work on a Firefox based browser.
Get a Librebooted Thinkpad T440p or similar and then upgrade it (SSD, 16gb ram, etc).
This is an awful and scummy move, in exchange for marketing their product they give out stickers? They aren’t giving out Framework laptops and if setting up a framework station at a convention costs money you’re supposed to pay for it yourself? If I ever want to upgrade to a modern laptop I think I’ll choose System76.
I assume you also have a Blåhaj :3
I don’t have over 1k to drop on a laptop, I spent $150 on a T440p, it does web browsing and other basic tasks very well.
The closest thing we have is Framework
They would rather make it harder for people to access their content rather than making it easier to be a paying customer
