I wouldn’t say old, but it’s a Thinkpad. I’m using Aurora Linux on a work laptop. In order to not void the warranty, I’m using an M2 NVME drive via a USBC caddy. It’s been rock solid for more than a year and I get to plug it to my desktop PC and use it as a thumb drive to access all my laptop files. Great experience.

T480, so not quite as well aged as the x201. Pretty much everything I have is somewhere between 6 and 15 years old. My wife’s laptop is an x1 yoga gen 2 (2016), my TV’s “streaming box” is an m910q, my servers are a random mix of tmm’s with the newest being p330s and the oldest is a dell from 2013ish. I just cobbled a frankenstein together with parts from 2008 and up, which went to my BIL because he needed a PC and I needed less parts in my office. Off lease business stuff is an absolute favorite of mine to pick up.

I’ve got an X220 as my secondary laptop, currently running Debian. It’s had several mods/upgrades and it’s still a very useful machine.

My daily driver is a t450s running Fedora Kinoite. It’s great, all working fine, but browsing is getting a bit heavy on it, and battery life is less than an hour, so it’s mostly used stationary. Thinking of upgrading to a T14 G3.

i have multiple t/x/w 20/30 thinkpads, i usually use the w520 the most because of its 1080p display and 7 row keyboard

Hello fellow X201 user. I too used EndeavourOS on my X201 for a long time, though currently I’m using Void on it (which I like a lot more). While KDE runs on it fine I mostly preferred river+waybar+fuzzel setup. Intel iGPU on this device really sucks by the way. :)

This made me think of the bad LCD in my X220. And then i got curious and there really are a few OLED touchscreens for that device around. Good idea? Or all fake? Sorry to piggyback this thread.

Im using a super modern Thinkpad with Linux. But I have some old options too. I also have a 2015 Macbook Pro running Ubuntu 26.04.

T420 currently on Cachy OS. Daily personal laptop since 2011, on some kind of Linux since about 2017.

I’ve been running NixOS on a T430 from 2012 as my daily driver for over a year now and it’s been the most fun I’ve had with a computer in a long time. The first couple weeks was a hell of a learning curve (because of Nix) but so worth it!

Anyone here using an old ThinkPad with Linux? can’t see using anything else honestly; there aren’t a lot of laptops left that satisfy the repairable & modular 2-in-1 niche like the X2xxT series and earlier yogas do.

I am currently using a Lenovo Yoga 370 from 2017 (which I bought as a refurbished device). This replaced my previous Lenovo X121e with an AMD E-450 from arround 2012 (also bought as a refurbished device). But the plastic from the Yoga is now slowly but steadily crumbling arround the Screen or arround the hinges. So I think we will have to part ways at some point…
