  • T480 is the last good Thinkpad. Even T490 is a huge downgrade.

    T430 or X230 if you’re into modding. The opportunities for modding them are endless. Keyboard from xx20-series (best ever made for laptops), FHD IPS panel, re-celling the battery with 18650-cells, second storage drive with mstata mod… If I remember right, T430 cd bay can be replaced with secondary battery too.

    The old models are compatible with FreeBSD too.





  • Manjaro Sway ships with eyecandy and a lots of very useful functionality. The background even includes the default keybinds.

    Suckless approach is IMO way more easier than Sway. What helps a lot is that you write an alias which compiles your new config and then reloads the WM. It requires the reload patch + just few another to make it useful.

    The thing about bloated means usually you have festures you never use and you still need to learn the way other people did for you. When you start building it from bare minimum you add only the configurations you need and then it is much easier to remembee how they work. That’s why I never tried Hyprland.
