🔰 🇦🇺No really, I’ve spent the last few days in idle time looking at second-hand ThinkPads.
I’m thinking of getting an older X series or Carbon and putting #NetBSD on it as a lower distraction writing tool.

Matteo Tuzzato@rubenerd I did the same some time ago, X220 for the classic keyboard. Did some upgrades and I use it regularly writing documentation in emacs. One of the best choices ever made.
@antenagora Nice :) I’d also love a ThinkPad from just before they boarded the chiclet train.

Hate to say it, but my totally chickletified X390 Yoga has my favorite keyboard in a laptop. I actually prefer it to my X200t.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I used a T5-something at work with a chiclet and it was *way* better than any modern laptop keyboard. I'd take either, but there's something nostalgic and wonderful about that older design too :').

It's not that I love the flat keys, and I'm on the fence about key travel, but the responsiveness and clickiness/tactility is on point.
Moss@rubenerd I really like my x60s for this purpose (4:3!).
need to migrate it to netbsd from freebsd becausse freebsd and 32 bit breakup has progressed to the point where no linuxdrm on supported releases.
x61s is very similar but 64 bit of that matters
@hope I miss my X61 and X40 so much, got me through uni even in the mid-2010s.
guytf@rubenerd On the basis of this suggestion (and particularly the potential for a long battery life), I got myself an x270, which I'm reasonably happy with: https://www.coreystephan.com/openbsd-thinkpad/
@guytf This is an amazing post, thank you! There's enough here for me to potentially try OpenBSD as well.
