I have been super busy with my local business and work. This July was a good month for sales and service, the best I can remember having since working solo. Sorry I haven't been posting much.

I do like ThinkPad. I've been refurbishing and selling them for probably about 15 years now (or longer). Typing this note from a ThinkPad laptop with Artix Linux (and LXqt) now.

Good that you got a desktop. Much more durable and less likely to get damaged (compared to a laptop). Laptops are great for portability... but if you don't need the machine to be moved from place to place, a desktop is almost always better.

Agreed!

Thank you!

I sold two laptops with Linux last Friday. Things are looking like I'll be selling a laptop and a desktop with Linux on them tomorrow (ThinkPad and ThinkCentre) to someone new to Linux. Refurbished by me, of course. #Linux

I am really liking LXQt - lex-cute - desktop. The defaults are just below desirable, but with just a bit of customizing LXQt is really good. So it is not as polished visually and features "out of the box" as Cinnamon desktop is, but it is much lighter on resources and is customizable in the ways that I'd like. Wish I'd tried it sooner... but maybe it really hadn't found its current form until recently. #Linux #LXQt
