#OpenSourcePicked up a #Thinkpad P1 Gen2 Xeon laptop the other day, with 64GB of RAM and 500G drive, 4K touchscreen. Less than 300 bucks.
Did I need it? Ummm, well, not really. But, come on! It's in spectacular shape, works well, will make a great device to build some vms with. Eventually I want to get a #guix home setup with it, but for now it's running #EndeavorOS.
I think it's my favorite machine right now. Kind of the big brother to my kids' T480's
EndeavourOS “Mercury Neo” released!
After EndeavourOS “Mercury” got released on February 10th, the team behind EndeavourOS has released a March 2025 refresh of the same distribution version, called “Mercury Neo.” It brought updated versions of all applications, including the following:
This makes sure that your system is up to date with the latest version of all software released with this version of EndeavourOS. Mercury Neo only affects new installs, but the team ensures that your system is running fine if you upgrade regularly.
The xwaylandvideobridge package has been removed upstream, so the install scripts no longer refer to it as it has already been deleted. In addition to that, obsolete NVIDIA-specific boot menus have been removed to clean things up.
For users living in some regions, the Arch mirror ranking stage, which is run before installation finishes, has been fixed so that it can correctly rank some Arch mirrors to prevent installation failures.
For UEFI systems, if you try to install “Mercury Neo” with systemd, the EFI system partition is generated with 2 GB in size instead of the smaller 1 GB size.

Well, it took my 2.35 years, but I think I managed to bork my EndeavorOS install on my main system beyond repair.
God damn, I hate reinstalling my OS.
EndeavourOS Net-Installer - Installation and Review
I bounced off Kubuntu LTS but I may have found a home in Endeavor OS, which I guess is the exact opposite. It's my first time on an Arch based distro in years, not counting SteamOS.
Sunshine works perfectly, as does everything else so far. It's obviously the most rolling of rolling releases and I'm sure I'll end up breaking it somehow, but until then I'll try and stick with it.
