Seeing Windows on a Thinkpad feels weird. I better go back to Unixporn to feel better.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 47 points 1 year ago

My thoughts exactly... Where are the tiling WMs?

As an i3 guy for over a decade, sell me on sway? Just out of curiosity.

[-] pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io 12 points 1 year ago

Sway is on wayland and wayland together with systemd is the best thing that ever happened to Linux.

/me throws a smoke bomb to the floor and runs away laughing.

i think the biggest argument against i3 is wayland. Past that i'm probably waiting for i3 2 electric boogaloo. It's such a good piece of software.

[-] kittykittycatboys 7 points 1 year ago

is a 99% compatible replacement for i3, just using Wayland instead of xorg. this means better multimonitor and u get some extra frames meow ^w^

i dont think it runs well with a nvidia gpu tho, so just aheads up for that meow

As an Arch + Hyprland Thinkpad user seeing a beautiful Thinkpad being ruined by Windows hurts. Free them from their Microsoft prison already.

[-] tromars@feddit.org 3 points 1 year ago

I don’t even use windows anymore apart from my work laptop, where I can’t install stuff on my own anyway, but that still made me look up options for tiling window managers on windows rn. (Tiling windows managers amiright)

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Maybe it's my age, but I've only ever known IBMs as DOS and Windows machines.

[-] anivia@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

What about hackintosh on a thinkpad?

[-] Vuraniute@thelemmy.club 119 points 1 year ago

thats a cool coverup/origin story for your thinkpad collection

[-] regul@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago

Yeah I don't expect there are many tech employees working with Windows Thinkpads.

[-] tabris@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

I worked for one of the biggest tech companies in the UK, we used Thinkpads for our dev work. They're solid machines with good specs and excellent warranties. Big companies love them.

[-] regul@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I've worked for tech companies in SV and I've never seen a developer without a MacBook.

[-] Shanedino@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Ah yes the only laptops/desktops that pit alien ware to shame for the price to performance ratio.

[-] Omgboom@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 year ago

The X1 Carbon is one of the best developer laptops there is, but I would never tarnish one with Windows

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago

Mostly finance guys…

[-] riwo 2 points 1 year ago

i work at a tech company and everyone here runs company mandated windows on their company thinkpads

[-] Discover5164@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

you would be surprised... i cannot use linux and have a thinkpad assigned. i need to change company...

[-] kittenzrulz123 47 points 1 year ago

Wheres the tiling WMs? Wheres the fastfetch? Wheres the cool looking rice? Wheres the programming socks? Wheres the obligatory Blåhaj?

[-] atocci@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

It's unethical to keep a ThinkPad in the conditions on display in the photo

[-] kittenzrulz123 6 points 1 year ago

All Thinkpads (even the lower quality and less upgradable newer ones) deserve a loving Linux Transfem :3

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Who says it needs to be a transfem, there are cool linux nerds of the transmasc and enby variety as well.

[-] ElectroLisa 34 points 1 year ago

TwinkPad the best bait to kidnap the queers(TM)

[-] Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 17 points 1 year ago

You could totally kidnap me if you offered me a x220

“I’m looking for a man in finance”

[-] quinkin@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Does that make you a laptoprostitute?

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

I don’t see any MacBook Pros. I assume the tech guys work in SaaS.

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

...hey wait a sec, I think I see my laptop in there!

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Had to check this wasn't a LinkedIn post.
