Nope, I usually pay the Mullvad tax :)

Fair lol

Yeah, it’s been quite a bit of guess work. Gtk/Kvantum themes are both Nordic-dark, then with the right gtk settings everywhere and compiling a few bits (cursors, Xsettingsd) and installing all the flatpak portals, with the right variables as well as all the Kvantum flatpak runtimes it works consistently across GTK/Qt/XWayland apps, including the cursor.

All my installed packages are also there under doc/apkovl. I installed my cursor/gtk themes to /usr/share as I compiled them but I’m sure they’d work in /home.

Thanks yep it was a btt of a pain getting uniform theming up between GTK, Kvantum and Xsettingsd it seems to work nice :)

Does it get slightly hot? The 16:10 was really nice on the X201!

Had quite a few of the X and T series, X200, X201, X220, X230, T430 mainly, x230 would be my pick, you can quad-core mod it with the classic keyboard and use ivyra1n to flash the bios easily. I haven’t bothered with the Full-HD mod because the 720p IPS is fine to me, you can get them from Taobao or similar (Check sources!)

They’re all socketed CPUs, or you could get the chonky T530/W530 instead, or a P series. Old Thinkpads last a long time (although I have a bad habit of testing them :)

EDIT: MY T430 was also a fucking tank, it survived being thrown across a room in San Franciso with a tiny dent on the lid, no damage. They’re easier to Full-HD mod than the X series.

Yay!

Alpine & OpenBSD with CLI installers, minimalism, lack of bloat and strong KISS philosophies, they remind me of what Arch Linux used to be – I don’t want any crapware if possible (dbus, systemd, polkit, logind etc). Just nice and simple.

The only one I have installed is dbus, unless you want to manually patch it out it’s pretty much everywhere (Gentoo is nice for this).

Xx30s are nice with classic keyboard mod
