It doesn't matter how many of these I get donated.. Everytime I get a #thinkpad donated, I get irrationally excited.

#nixbook #linux

Well this is exciting!

I just got word that #lfnw is giving the Computer Upcycle Project it's own booth at the fest!

You'll be able to swing by, check out Nixbook, get more info about the project ANDDD we're giving away TONS of hardware

(jail broken chromebooks, SFF pc's, cables, etc)

We'll have at least 100 computers and tech to give away at the event! And of course you can drop off your old laptop in donation as well!

#linux #nixbook #nixos #openSource #lfnw2026

Tonight on the #nixbook workbench.. a 2015 Era #macbookPro that had a bad SSD (which I had a spare and replaced then installed Nixbook)

And then an older Lenovo Yoga that had a cracked screen registering a constant phantom touch, making the computer unusable.

I simply disconnected the "touch" data lines to the motherboard and now it functions as a non touch laptop.

These will both go to people in need for free.

Love to #linux and #nixos for always making this possible!

This is funny. The "control zone". Helping you navigate Windows 8.1 with ease lol.

Wonder what this zone does on #linux guess we'll find out when I put #nixbook on it. :)

I've played with a lot of #thinkpad but never an 11e.

It's so cute!

#nixbook #nixos #linux

Local food bank needed a decent desktop computer at their warehouse. This is all donated hardware revived with #linux #nixbook

I love this work!

More proof that #linux #nixbook is completely usable by normal, non technical folks.

I recently donated 10 Nixbooks to a local community college that had a group of under privileged students that really needed computers.

These were non technical folks with no training whatsoever. Some didn't even speak fluent English. And yet the feedback has been amazing from it.

Thank you to all the #openSource heros that make this possible. And to #nixos for making one hell of a base
