As much as I like hating CEO's... Aren't small company CEO's included? I feel that at least some of those people risked it all to build a company so they really shouldn't be bundled in here...

Idk a men only community would probably be just trains, shoes, tanks, water heaters, and energy drinks, and I think I'd like it

AI is for the idiot investors to believe in only

And, it's also a good way yo turn "we fired 30 people because our company is failing" into "we replaced 30 positions with AI"

Where are the techbros that warned me of malware since W10 is EOL? Do you like your new AI built-in malware, cunts?

And I know a guy in who is only still breathing because he ran on a visa so he doesn't get sent into the meat grinder for ruzzia.

These babies will have massive teeth issues too. A combination of really high sugar intake and no dentistry industry to speak of is a recipe for disaster.

Linux distro for ThinkPad T470P (lemmy.zip)

Hi everyone.

Can anyone guide me into choosing a Linux distro for this laptop (or laptops in general)?

I want to get it for my dad as a general browsing machine that can maybe also play some very old games. (think 2010 era)

How do I pick a distro? I tried checking the drivers page but it seems, at least from this page, that there are almost no drivers available on linux for this machine.

The same seems to be the case for many other laptops I looked at...I also have a ThinkBook 16 G7 IML as a work machine that I could not find proper drivers for (keyboard, camera, graphics card - I get artifacting very often)

Help? How do I research this?

EDIT: Thanks for the overwhelming support! What I took away is:

Most drivers are packaged in the kernel in Linux so no dedicated drivers are needed most of the time
Proprietary drivers are an issue (camera on the 16 G7 IML, Nvidia drivers)
The 940MX may not have Linux support, I'll check
It's a good laptop overall
Consider Mint, Tuxedo OS, Zorin (for mac users), Ubuntu
Consider A485 (AMD version of T480 with Vega 8), T470 (non-P - no nvidia driver issues), T480 (faster low power CPU than T470 high power CPU)
Resources: DistroWatch.com DistroChooser Linux Hardware

Yes I've considered desktops and would build one in a heartbeat if it would be useful for my dad, but he 100% needs the portability. Thanks for the heads up.

This thread proves 100% that the linux community really is friendly as hell. I don't know where people get the impression that noobs are treated badly.

I just checked compatibility between Mint and the 940MX and it seems good. Here are some links. The ones with "computer" in the link are specifically T470 or T470P models. The site is very slow for some reason but it will load eventually. If you get a gateway timeout it's likely to succeed if you retry.

This is disguisting. Remember guys, no brand is worth fanboying over.
