Anyone here using an old ThinkPad with Linux?

Have you considered getting a large external battery? My 2015 T450s on Fedora still gets 6-10h battery life with 97Wh between the two batteries. Mostly stock with a repasted CPU 6 years ago (probably needs to be done again) and an M.2 2242 as the boot drive, with a 2.5" SSD as the D: drive.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
