Hi y'all, my name is Labertte and I use Arch btw.
Probably like every other Linux user, I'd like to buy a ThinkPad, put some lightweight distribution like Arch or Gentoo on it, and then ~~go to Starbucks, get a soy latte and tell everyone that I use "linux"~~. But I decided to go a little different route and give a chance to my old laptop that I was using about five or seven years ago.
