How does it compare with a T430-like Thinkpad? I bought my second-hand T430s for 200 CAD some 5 years ago, still working well for it's purpose and I didn't bother moving to a lighter OS (am on Win10).
- flatiron 5y agoI have a w540 which I think is compatible with t440. The thinkpad has more oomph but lacks in lightness and MagSafe which honestly I love. Win10 honestly isn’t that bad! I have to use it for work. That and wsl is great. But for personal use I would never use windows. Any reason for personal use you need to use it? To me Linux is easier and better. I have 3 kids who I made their computer which runs arch and them and their mother now complain when the computer is not an arch/plasma computer. Linux at least today and with a simple distribution like arch is very user friendly.
- BbzzbB 5y agoMain reason I'm still with Windows 10 (perma-watermarked editions) on my laptop and my PC is pure inertia. I've been telling myself I should switch to Linux if only to learn (am a work-in-progress coder), but have procrastinated it forever. I've just got some Linux exposure thru my Raspberry Pis on Raspbian. I would however need to be able to play AoE2:DE on my PC, might have to keep a Win10 partition on the PC if I make the move as, AFAIK, it doesn't work great on Linux (haven't looked into it in a while, maybe outdated).
