I went with xfce because it said it was lighter weight. Switching to cinnamon is easy enough, I only have steam installed so far.

I am downloading Mint xfce currently, was to see how that runs and if it goes well do cinnamon. The laptop has an M.2 SSD, unsure of the capacity, but I am going to guess 512gb.

congrats on having one btw

Coming up on 24 years!

I have Mint xfce downloading already. I figure I would live boot that and let her get a feel for it. Then try Cinnamon or another distro.

My wife has an old Lenovo i5 thinkpad that we would like to use again with linux, before buying a new computer. I was wondering if there is a tool that I can input the model and stats of the device and it will output a few suggested distros for it.

It is the X1 Carbon 20BT with the i5-5300U Processor, it has 8gb ram. https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/pd100509-overview-for-thinkpad-x1-carbon-type-20bs-20bt

Update: I have installed mint xfce but am downloading cinnamon and switching to that.

Hallucinations built right into it?

I ordered a k1 max from keychron today. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay, but it looks to be a good board. This one looks interesting. I have used ergo boards but never a split board.

Some sites return wireless keyboards even when specifically searching Bluetooth.

Is there any plans to change how Mlem handles links to Instagram? This post takes up almost 3 screens in height.

I like those! I may replace my main keyboard with one of those too.

I have the k480 which I like for typing and such, but for gaming I find it too small. It looks to be similar to your 380 but the 480 has a slot to hold a tablet or phone.

I do like hearing the 380 has a case though.

I was looking at the Logitech mx keys s, but it is $130. At that point I would probably go with a gaming keyboard.

The problem I have run into is the keyboards I am finding are either wireless with dongle, or very small TV keyboards.

 

I recently started to play a crafting mmorpg (bitcraft) and while it runs great on the steam deck, the controls are not great. I have been playing with an old dell usb keyboard and Bluetooth trackball. I would like to find a great Bluetooth keyboard. So many of the wireless keyboards I have looked at require a dongle, which limits my ability to charge unless I use a dock.

I would rather a larger keyboard than a smaller one.

I wondered how long until ass eating would be brought up. First reply, not disappointed.

 

With the impending closure of lemm.ee and both of the current mods being MIA I created a new foraging community !foraging@slrpnk.net

Come join us and share your forages, or learn about ours.

Even Furiosa, my dog, is foraging.

After updating I was getting errors, from upvoting, and from saving. But after each error they went away. Here is the error log. Hopefully it sorted itself.
