Looking to upgrade from an old Latitude, curious as to what mobile hardware you folks use for writing your open source projects?

      I’ve heard a lot of good stuff about the Carbons, especially the older ones as Linux machines.

        I have one from 2015 that is literally falling apart, but it still works okay. I’m going to be sad when I have to finally give up on it. Unfortunately, it’s not great for repair. I was going to replace the keyboard because some keys are malfunctioning, but it requires basically pulling apart the whole computer including some parts that are taped on.

        So far I love it. I bought it brand new from Lenovo and you could pick from I think 3 or 4 distros. I picked fedora, which it came with 38. When I first booted up it had a bios update which honestly surprised me that they would bother. Then upgraded to 40 through the fedora upgrade path. All painless.

        I was fully prepared to make a windows live USB just to flash the bios/firmware.
