After many years, I'm back on Linux. Ubuntu for the moment and 98% smooth installation.
An archaic USB device did not want to play nice and a piece of software is now behind a paywall ... BOOOOO for #enshittification !
Anyway, I'll slowly work over to the new machine until the 2015 MacBook finally detonates, LOL.
This is a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen1 for anyone interested. I didn't even give Windows a chance to boot before wiping it completely.
what was/is behind a paywall?
Fritzing ... I used to use it every now and then for REALLY simple, personal, one-off PCBs.
Use to be you didn't have to pay. Now it's $12 and I couldn't find a current workaround.
I've been learning KiCAD regardless.
That's a bummer.
But that machine is the massey ferguson of laptops! 💪
Wish I still had mine.
Glad to have it. I've heard older-ish Thinkpads have been in some demand lately.
Also nice that I won't need a dongle for everything.
I gave mine away to a person, who needed a computer but could not buy one.
I know it is still in good use, but I really miss it. 😁🤩
