@rachel That's also what has stopped me from just hitting the "buy" button. The Asus is still perfectly fine in all regards, so even though it's now six years old, it's still very usable, and will likely stay so for quite a while. But I also definitely want to support an open hardware project like MNT.

@mmeier@social.mei-home.net I just added a disk swap partition on this--fedora just skips disk swap and tries to use zram by default. With 8gb ram and zram enabled if I used much beyond a terminal and Firefox I'd get occasional OOMKills. Swapping to zswap + 8gb nvme backed swap is a drastic difference and makes me thing I can get many more years out of this. I might even bump the swap disk size slightly at some point.
