picked up a thinkpad t420 from facebook market place for 40 bucks, and have installed linux mint on it cause I was feeling nostalgic

so far, I'm shocked at how usable it is with most of everything I do most days. I can watch videos at 1080p 60FPS with only a few dropped frames if I'm multitasking, can play minecraft at at least 30 FPS, and of course can do word processing and coding. That's pretty much all I do on the computer these days, so its all I need

and as expected, it has one of the best keyboards I've ever used on a laptop, as is the case with all the thinkpads I have from this era. For whatever reason, this particular keyboard feels just a bit better than the other thinkpads I've owned, however. Not sure why.

I am 1000% a topre convert. The HHKB layout also just makes so much more sense than the typical 65% QWERTY layout which I'm generally used to
Just got an HHKB professional classic with my holiday bonus at work, and omg it is sooo good!! Like, this is my first exposure to topre switches, but this might be my end game now. I don't think I am gonna want to use anything but topre now.

fixed a problem where I referred to LXQT as LXDE by mistake. Either way, not a fan of either DE personally, so eh.
Debian well deserved S-tier imfo
i'm hoping someday i'll get to courage to try out a linux distro
@napreviewz what system do you use at the moment? If its Windows, I recommend either Linut Mint or Kubuntu, and if its MacOS, I'd recommend Ubuntu as a first distro! You can always try out in a VM or dualboot to see if its right for you!
keep in mind that it is a totally different operating system (esp if you're coming from windows, since MacOS and Linux are both Unix-likes, which makes them a little more alike than Windows, which is totally non-unix)
but since it is totally different, you won't find an exact "basically just windows" distro, and there is a learning curve no matter what
