from masto ive learnt that having a cheap old laptop that runs linux is not just a bizarre thing that only i do, but also a status symbol, aspirational, and an up-and-coming popular fashion accessory??
@jk Now all you need is an IBM Model M on your shoulder like a boombox.

@jk nah I bought a T420 for £150 a few months back out of necessity bc my previous college laptop hard bricked itself and i couldn't afford anything else

best £150 i ever spent though, and the linux hardware support is great

@jk been looking for used x220-x240s on the cheap to run linux on for quite a while now. #CSstudentThings
@dixego hah, i got mine in my 2nd year of comp sci, got a lot of reactions from fellow students like "what the fuck, does that run Windows 95"
