Pots and lids, my guy, somewhere out there are honey singles in your area with the inverse fantasy.

How dare he! Consensual hetero sex in a committed relationship, in a conservative society?! Pervert!

Wasn’t there a story about a president somewhere that the CIA tried to blackmail with a sex tape, and the guy basically said that he’s flattered and he doesn’t if mind his people see if he sleeps around?

I guess it depends on how much you can abuse or ignore it. Debian works just fine if you put it in a locker for 3 years and then try to update. With gentoo, if you didn’t update for a week, you might as well reinstall :)

Arch is somehow in the middle, I had an arch VM that never had any problems except that certificate issue despite not getting many updates.

Perfectly fine if it does what it should. That is imo the essence of this post: Better is the enemy of good. I wouldn’t buy a new one (again), this one was a bit of an exception (customer return, with a little scratch), since used touch laptops with good performance were quite rare.

Nah, L390 Yoga. I wanted touch because i thought I’d use it, but it ended up in a docking station most of the time anyway. Upgraded RAM and SSD, battery still hold “a few hours” despite being 7+ years old. I figured those 8th gen quad cores would last a while, and so far, they do. Doesn’t feel too terrible compared to my modern core u 235 work laptop.

“I’m in this picture and it’s quite OK here.”

My car is a 20 year old shitbox, my bike gets new brake pads and a bit of random lubricant on the chain once a year and other “maintenance” only when parts fall off, and my stereo is a mix of hand me downs from my dad’s college days and some eBay home theatre stuff that got sold because it didn’t support the newest HDMI bullshit.

Oh, and of course it is a Thinkpad, thanks for asking.

Just the other day, a friend of mine running Arch tried to install something, which resulted in him having to do a full system update, including fixing several “that should not happen” s. Meanwhile, every few years I spend an evening update to the newest stable, and never had bigger issues than the color of some icon being unfamiliar.
