The consumer lines are total junk and are not even worth repairing, I think. The other nice thing about buying these older laptops is the trove of parts available out there on fleaBay.

Totally get it. I don’t directly recommend buying an HP laptop, but I only mention it as it runs CachyOS fine. This one is a gamer and just happened to be the right price. I would go Thinkpad, then Dell business, then HP business (all used).

I think OP is right that most laptops run Linux fine and the business lines are best. I did have to flash my HP laptop BIOS/firmware using Windows as HP has no Linux tools for this yet. But with that said, I own seven or eight Thinkpads and run different distros (Mint, Cachy, Solus, etc). All work very nicely. I could not discourage you from buying a 480 at all.

FBI: It’s the same picture.

Can’t be. Meat isn’t blue enough.

Ironically, I just learned that just a few weeks ago when updating my library. Have not had time to watch, but did wonder about the quality compared to the first. Thanks!

Edit: Ironically, I think I meant “coincidentally”. Probably.

There are dozens of us that loved that show. I also bought the soundtrack as they had some banger tunes too!

This reminds me of the sketch in The Onion Movie where the masked gunman comes into the bank, but he doesn’t want money, he wants a job. So, they give him one. Worth the watch and hopefully this link works to see the full sketch:

Edit: Found the full sketch and fixed link.
