I bought it from eBay. It is the best computer Ive had in a while, even tho is somewhat old. I love it.

What's the use case for a 9-year old Lenovo notebook? Not trying to be snarky, legitimately curious. Can it run Windows 10?

I'm running GNU/Linux on this thing, so far is extremely responsive and working great, even with my already configured OS. Honestly, since my previous old iMac died, this is the best computer I had for a while, I had to survive with Raspberry Pis and even older laptops.

that honestly sounds brutal

What distro are you using and why?

[–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

For now Ill be using Garuda, because I wanted to play things from steam and this one is already configured for that.

Maybe Ill use something else in the future.

It might surprise you but my main laptop is a 9yr old thinkpad, even tho I have newer ones. Of course it can run win10, I daily drive linux but occasionally use windows from a usb ssd enclosure (installed with winTousb). I bought it almost as a joke 4-5yrs ago, but upgrade after upgrade (the screen especially which was crap) it became too good to replace lol
