Selling my Mac and going all-in on my T14s Gen 2 AMD running Omarchy (Arch + Hyprland).

Honestly impressed with how well this machine handles daily Linux use. I've had a few things to sort out (audio, camera, external displays), and I covered how I fixed them in a video about the switch: https://youtu.be/X7hr4YE9pig or at least i tried haha

Anyone else daily driving a T14s Gen 2 on Linux? Any tweaks you'd recommend for battery or displays?

Hello

Final year student here. I need to buy a thinkpad within 140k BDT (850 USD).

I mainly work with web dev, currently using arch with hyprland, but thinking of moving to a more stable distro like Fedora, as I have to enter the professional development work (wish me luck to even get a job in this harsh market!).

I will also run some local models, but

I have chosen thinkpad over nvidia GPU laptops because of its compatibility with linux, and durability.

Has anyone been using a thinkpad? any help would be much appreciated. thank you:)

I’m running Cachy on a second hand ThinkPad I recently got and thought I’d try TLP to improve the battery life. I works quite well but I had an odd issue after installing it: after shutting down and closing the laptop lid it would restart. It’s definitely TLP as it stopped happening when I reverted back to the original power profile daemon. Has anyone else come across this issue or know what in TLP is causing it?

Things I have tried:

I tried different kernels, both the LTS and BORE kernel

I have disabled the runtime PM for PCIe devices

None of these have have stopped the issue.
