I had a listen and enjoyed hearing you 3 again. 🙂

Though I was a tad surprised that there was no introduction, just straight to it!

I kept waiting for @popey to propose a ThinkPad ;-)

@wimpy @linuxmatters @popey @marxjohnson Hey how's the keyboard. I have a thinkpad rn and it's great but I saw people complaining about newer models

@marxjohnson @popey @linuxmatters @carnage_mode I really like it. No complaints. But I've had several low profile keyboards on laptops in recent years so accustomed to them. But the Z13 is the best of the bunch.

@wimpy @linuxmatters @popey @marxjohnson It is unfortunate that the Thinkpad you referenced isn’t available in the US with Linux preinstalled.

@popey @marxjohnson @linuxmatters @wimpy Not so many years ago, I still couldn’t order a thinkpad in my country with Linux pre-installed. Because of this episode, I went to check the lenovo store again and was surprised to see fedora and ubuntu on the menu besides windows. Slowly but surely we’re getting there.
