- cenamus 5mo agoTrackpad? I've had OpenBSD on ~6 laptops, old and new, but the trackpad always worked fine

- gizzlon 5mo agohuh? I've been running Arch exclusively on my laptops for at least 7 years
- groundzeros2015 5mo agoThinkpad? Or dell? How is the battery life?
- gizzlon 5mo agoLet's see, System 76, previously Dell and Samsung. All the pretty much the smallest and lightest I could find. So not fantastic, but good enough. For me, battery life is much lower on the list than "small and lightweight" and "works well with Linux".
