I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 6 and installed Omarchy on it. It’s not my main machine, and it’s not supposed to be. It’s a companion: a notebook I can open on the 3D printing office desk, SSH into the desktop, fire up Claude Code, access files on the NAS, debug the network through ethernet without hunting for a USB dongle and a long cable. This article covers the hardware choice, the Omarchy setup on top, the customizations specific to a laptop and to this Thinkpad in particular, and the architecture decisions that might not be obvious.
