Laptops are always so much more Fucked than phones in my experience. A laptop is like a beautiful horse that wants nothing more than to break all of its legs. A decently solid android phone will act normal.
A laptop is a living creature. It has weight to it. A laptop breathes and produces body heat. And it wants to die badly. Mobile phones are not sentient like that & that’s why they don’t experience mental illness. A phone problem is like “out of storage :(” or “charging port broke”. Laptops will cough weakly as they fade in and out of consciousness.
You will hold a laptop in your arms and it’s like “I can’t feel my legs”. And you tell it girl you never had any.
I have a 2010 Thinkpad that I ordered new. I still use it on campouts and in the garage and stuff (plugged in, no battery)
I have a 2003 thinkpad… I don’t use it any more.
I’m super tempted to try to get antix running on it before 32 bit is dropped in the Linux kernel, so I can have a time capsule of sorts. But I really want to put either dapper drake or fedora core 4 on it, since those were the first linux distros that was actually usable for me and started my journey, or jaunty jackalope because that was when all the hardware worked without issues and I could finally ditch windows.
Oh man, memories. Yes! A time capsule laptop is essentially what my Thinkpad is 😅
