Stuff I Use
While it may not be smart to write Markdown in GNU Nano, I’ve decided to give it a shot. I’ll update this properly at a later date I’m sure.
My Thinkpad
My primary laptop is a Lenovo Yoga 370 - I recieved it in August of 2017 as part of my tuition. Until last year, it ran Windows 10. To increase its lifespan, I replaced the battery, increased its storage, and switched OS to Debian 12 running KDE Plasma. Here are the current specs:
will@MikuPad
- OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) x86_64
- Host: 20JJS0R800 ThinkPad Yoga 370
- Kernel: 6.1.0-29-amd64
- Uptime: 10 hours, 53 mins
- Packages: 2872 (dpkg), 10 (snap)
- Shell: bash 5.2.15
- Resolution: 1920x1080
- DE: Plasma 5.27.5
- WM: kwin
- Theme: [Plasma], Breeze [GTK2/3]
- Icons: [Plasma], breeze-dark [GTK2/3]
- Terminal: konsole
- Terminal Font: FreeMono 10
- CPU: Intel i5-7200U (4) @ 3.100GHz
- GPU: Intel HD Graphics 620
- Memory: 2847MiB / 7700MiB
Its performance is fairly cromulent considering its age is getting to the point of “should-really-start-looking-at-getting-a-better-laptop”. For the time being though, it handles what I use it for (audio programming) decently well. Just can’t have too many Firefox tabs open when building a C++ project or things go downhill quickly.
Potato
The newest piece of tech that I own is originally from 2015. It is a rinky-dink little laptop with an Intel Atom likewise running Debian GNU/Linux. (As a sidenote, it couldn’t even run Windows 10 anymore with its 32 Gigs of eMMC storage). It uses Xfce as its desktop environment, just because. I’m sure I could have found a DE or entire Distro more lightweight but it’s good enough. Here are its specs:

Should I have anything more to say I’ll add them here, but this should suffice for now.
