haha, the similarities to my recent experiences are funny. I also recently have started using an X230 (same era as T430) and an X220, also running open source OSes and I used Hugo to publish my personal site, using the same theme as the article author. Today, these machines are so affordable and still offer excellent computation power and acceptable power efficiency. Not mind-blowing, but still fine. The repairability is a major plus, one of the best in a laptop I've thus far seen.
