OMG, es ist endlich soweit! Meine Gebete/Beschwerden wurden erhört!

Ich habe vor mir ein neues Thinkpad und ganz links unten ist die Strg-Taste und rechts davon FN.

Endlich! Das hat mich immer gestört, dass die das anders rum hatten und endlich hat jemand mal eingesehen, dass das scheiße ist! 😍

Am i the only one who removes that red cap of the trackpoint on a #thinkpad?
Although Thinkpads are great Laptops, i never used that trackpoint, and its cap disturbs me when i'm typing.

Hey! 🥳 i could start a poll!
(multiple choice)

Picked up a #Thinkpad P1 Gen2 Xeon laptop the other day, with 64GB of RAM and 500G drive, 4K touchscreen. Less than 300 bucks.

Did I need it? Ummm, well, not really. But, come on! It's in spectacular shape, works well, will make a great device to build some vms with. Eventually I want to get a #guix home setup with it, but for now it's running #EndeavorOS.

I think it's my favorite machine right now. Kind of the big brother to my kids' T480's

I'm on a #Thinkpad T14 running #Debian 12, and it doesn't recognize the wifi card. This happens when Thinkpads have a #Realtek WAN, and sadly, technicians have told me it is soldered on. However, two things

a) The Bluetooth works fine (on the same board, right?)

b) "lsusb" shows me this:

Bus 003 Device 006: ID 8087:0026 Intel Corp. AX201 Bluetooth

I'm confused by all this. Help would be appreciated.

#ViernesDeEscritorio
Mi actual setup físico en la oficina y la tradicional captura de pantalla con la información del sistema.
Uso la PC a través de escritorio remoto el 99% del tiempo, desde la #ThinkPad.
Esta semana, cambié el icono para el botón de inicio (porque el logo de Fedora me recuerda demasiado a CaraLibro).

¿Qué tipo de información de sistema prefieren para los viernes de escritorio, terminal o gráfica?

Posting from #ubuntu 25.10 on #thinkpad x13s snapdragon #arm processor. Battery is nice, compiles a kernel in 4 minutes, very responsive. Missing a few comfort features like proper suspend. Bluetooth is not working, audio is not working (but I have a FiiO usb-c dongle that I'm using just fine). Touch screen works, touchpad, trackpad, wifi, brightness controls, battery stats. It has been pretty stable too.

I am in the US, so my prices my be less than if you are in Europe.

My go to place to look is ebay for used OEM parts. Used parts are almost all original OEM parts, while the new ones are frequently lower quality knockoffs.

Seems like there are a good number between $18 and $30.

If you are in the US, I could possibly sell and ship one to you.

For the trackpad, it may be difficult to diagnose if it only happens occasionally. I've seen things like that. Sometimes software. Sometimes a physical capacitive short. Disassembling, cleaning and putting back together could possibly help.
