@itsfoss recent #Lenovo #Thinkpad #Laptop like T14 Gen 5 has pretty decent #repairability score:

Not as good as #framework but it is still good to have alternatives.

Be aware of proprietary binary blobs in #firmware and #bios hence I can recommend to also have a look here for other great #laptops:

MNT April 2025 Update

First update of 2025, let's see what's been happening at the MNT headquarters.

It's sad to see what's happening on @AsahiLinux , but the project has never made sense to me, apart from the developers having fun of doing it.

#Apple doesn't deserve that effort, it's too close of a company.

My opinion is the best the community does is not support Apple at all, and if someone wants to use Linux, let that person support a company that supports Linux somehow.

I have an #AppleSilicon #M1 and definitely my next hardware will not be Apple's anymore, I'm leaving the ecosystem to support other initiatives.

@mntmn is on my radar... I'm open to suggestions and opinions!

Thanks!

I'm thinking about selling my #mnt_reform for switching to the reform next... original SoM, metal port covers, no issues at all.

After procrastinating for almost 2 months I found the time to write the post about my custom lid for the @mntmn Pocket Reform. It decreases the full load CPU and SOC temperature by 30 degrees while keeping the WiFi functional!

A big thanks goes to @fesix who did most of the work for me (I was just the nagging child wanting things...)

Solving heat related issues with custom lid

After receiving my Pocket Reform, I noticed some heat-related issues. The main annoyances were CPU throttling and a sudden drop in WiFi speed at times. I suspected that the primary cause was the PCB lid. Although it has two copper layers, the insulating base material (FR4?) in between likely contributed to the heat retention. My idea was to replace the lid with a simple aluminum plate. After discussing this idea with others on IRC, I felt a bit discouraged due to concerns about potential WiFi s...
