I am downloading Mint xfce currently, was to see how that runs and if it goes well do cinnamon. The laptop has an M.2 SSD, unsure of the capacity, but I am going to guess 512gb.

congrats on having one btw

Coming up on 24 years!

My wife has an old Lenovo i5 thinkpad that we would like to use again with linux, before buying a new computer. I was wondering if there is a tool that I can input the model and stats of the device and it will output a few suggested distros for it.

It is the X1 Carbon 20BT with the i5-5300U Processor, it has 8gb ram. https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/pd100509-overview-for-thinkpad-x1-carbon-type-20bs-20bt

Update: I have installed mint xfce but am downloading cinnamon and switching to that.

Thank you, I have not come across this brand.

She has thermal boots, but even with those I worry at the temps we get when I can feel the heat through my shoes.

I am steering away from an e-bike because in the off season when I can let her run with me, I want the scooter over the bike.

I remember when razr scooters were the thing to have and my kids had them. I loved riding theirs but always wanted a grown up sized one.

But if I am unable to find an escooter, I may go the bike route

Hallucinations built right into it?

I am 250ish, the majority I saw were 265 weight limit. I carry a rather heavy backpack, so even without the dog in the equation I would want something around 300.

Trying to cut down my vehicle usage, however my 75lbs dog comes to work with me every day. I live in an area that is too hot for her to walk with her feet unprotected a significant portion of the year.

I was hoping to convert my niece's old bike trailer into a dog trailer to pull behind. But so far the only two I have found were $1300 and $1500 and it looks like one of them is no longer available.

Is there any plans to change how Mlem handles links to Instagram? This post takes up almost 3 screens in height.

I like those! I may replace my main keyboard with one of those too.

I have the k480 which I like for typing and such, but for gaming I find it too small. It looks to be similar to your 380 but the 480 has a slot to hold a tablet or phone.

I do like hearing the 380 has a case though.

I was looking at the Logitech mx keys s, but it is $130. At that point I would probably go with a gaming keyboard.

I recently started to play a crafting mmorpg (bitcraft) and while it runs great on the steam deck, the controls are not great. I have been playing with an old dell usb keyboard and Bluetooth trackball. I would like to find a great Bluetooth keyboard. So many of the wireless keyboards I have looked at require a dongle, which limits my ability to charge unless I use a dock.

I would rather a larger keyboard than a smaller one.

The outage prompted me to finally register an account here. Reading the admins comments regarding the situation solidified the decision. That also allowed me to create the !foraging@slrpnk.net community, thank you for advertising it for us.

With the impending closure of lemm.ee and both of the current mods being MIA I created a new foraging community !foraging@slrpnk.net

Come join us and share your forages, or learn about ours.

Even Furiosa, my dog, is foraging.

I have long thought the birds were beating me to the ripe currants we pass on our morning hike. But yesterday I was close enough to my dog to catch her foraging them!

I have suspected her foraging for a few weeks, I was visiting my sister on our family farm, there are wild wolf berries (goji) between her house and the farm house. And she saw the dog eating berries off the bushes.

There were some good ones this morning.

After updating I was getting errors, from upvoting, and from saving. But after each error they went away. Here is the error log. Hopefully it sorted itself.
