Installing #Windows11 on the new-to-my-mum #laptop - a Lenovo X1 Carbon if you must know - because I wouldn't trust anyone's pre-installed Windows on a refurb machine. Plus, as with all laptops I put together for family, it got a new NVMe drive so it needed an OS anyway.

Fortunately I managed to install using a local user account, but the number of “can we spy on you, pretty please?" dialogs and all the useless junk that gets installed during a "clean" install already annoys the heck out of me.

That laptop also going to get a #LinuxMint install and we'll see if I can make that work for her as I remain less and less impressed with Windows. But I'm also a 12h one-way trip away if something goes wrong…

Ordered a Thinkpad E14 gen 6

I haven't had a personal laptop for a few years lol I've just been using work laptops on my trips. It worked fine since I mostly just used browser. But now I'm deep (aka three days) into my web app development that I need a personal laptop to install all the tools I need... Work laptop has too many restrictions

I'd rather have a x1 carbon but E14 is sufficient for me...
