Yesterday, I ran a firmware update on Linux: "sudo #fwupdmgt update” which showed an intel ME update I ran.

Device: Lenovo #T490.

Since then, I can't boot my #Linux (#NixOS) anymore. Instead, I have a strange boot-loop into the BIOS.

If you have any ideas I might try, please do let me know.

Endlich habe ich daran gedacht mir im hiesigen Mediamarkt die Laptops anzuschauen um die Entscheidung zu treffen, ob ich mir einen 14" oder 15,6" kaufe. Zum Glück hatten sie beide Varianten nebeneinander stehen.
Ein ganz schöner Unterschied. Ich hätte nicht gedacht, das 15,6" so ausladend ist. Der ist zu groß um ihn immer mitzunehmen.

Entschieden ist:
Lenovo ThinkPad 14", 16GB RAM und 512GB SSD. Und es kommt #Linux drauf

Offene Fragen:
#T490 oder #T14
#AMD oder #Intel

I upgraded my lenovo #T490 from #NixOS 24.11 to 25.05 within an hour or so.

I've lost "xdu" (custom package doesn't compile anymore), had to manually download a closed source binary once again, had to manually replace "okular" with "kdePackages.okular" and remove "services.locate.localuser".

The upgrade went somewhat fine. Didn't find any issues so far besides the usual Python annoyances (manual re-creation of all venv and so forth).

However, I'm looking forward to switching back to #Debian in a few months. My Debian upgrades didn't require that much time and effort AFAIR and #Python is working in a normal way.

Gixajoak lan handia egin du eta ondo egin dau, baina ez da kapaz powerpoint-ak editatzeko ia, eta makina birtualak ezta imaginatu bez...!

What it feels like to be the only software developer in a group of friends, and to be working on Linux :D
