"From Freedom came Elegance"
This project is very near and dear to my heart, it is in fact my daily-use laptop, which runs Linux Mint. For starters I am using a Lenovo ThinkPad T480, it has 16gb of ram, a core I5 processor, touchscreen, one Terabyte SSD, and replaced my old laptop which was a ThinkPad X250 when the SSD gave up midterm week last year. I have other computers around to play games and run the virtual machines for my cybersecurity labs but if my life depended on a computer to just work no matter what, it would be this Linux ThinkPad.
Why Mint?
I have used many distros from Ubuntu, to kali, to Arch, but Mint just works. It is so dependeble, dead reliable, and quite customizable as you will see later. I find the "old" Windowsesque style to be charming and it acted as a nice blank slate for this project.
Show and Tell
This is a screenshot of my desktop, showing my modified Conky widgets and terminal. The image beneath it is the modified code that I wrote to make it look how it does.
The best part about owning a thinkpad running Linux is the ease and carefreeness of it all, a new to me T480 is $100 on ebay as they were so widly used in offices and are being sold for scrap now and I have a fresh install of Mint on a USB at my desk at all times. Over 70% of all IOT devices run Linux, it is free, open source, and in my opinion just better than windows or MacOS. Thinkpads are everywhere from movies to offices, they were even sent into space, they are drop resistant, water resistant and have a super active modding community. To me, there is no better computer combo than Linux and a Thinkpad.
