Ibm had fallen off a cliff. I remember having one that had a dock for it’s cd reader and such. Things was God damned bullet proof! I got an IdeaPad recently and aside from the metal shell, it’s pretty much garbage. Like I don’t really know what they’re doing with their bios, but I just installed an m.2 drive with a Linux install and it takes almost the exact same time to boot as it did from the fucking platter hdd!
Linux didn’t exist when I was 12. 😑
Same. Didn’t show up until 3 years later.
I was around 13 for my first Linux install. Good times. Think pad 600, what a classic.
If I could have that exact same machine, with modern specs, I’d be hard pressed to use anything else. The nostalgia alone… So good.

I was 8 when Linus posted on that Minix Usenet group about his hobby that won’t be big at all.
