It is the ThinkPenguin, yes. I bought it at an extra and with an underwhelming GPU exactly because it is designed to work nice on linux and only has devices that work with open-source drivers. Yet, the GPU fails under debian. After hours of tinkering and googling, I concluded I have the same issue as this guy: http://blogs.fsfe.org/the_unconventional/2014/11/12/debian-x-drivers/ http://blogs.fsfe.org/the_unconventional/2014/11/12/debian-x... Add to that that the basic install does not allow USB to be automounted by a user. I did manage to get this one to work after a wasted hour or two, but I don't consider it normal that this is not default behavior or at least very easy to configure. In 2015. Both these things worked flawlessly out of the box on a Ubuntu with KDE. As for nostalgia, I actually do not remember stumbling on a case like the intel GPU before: "We are holding bugfixes because we don't like the name of Intel's package". Actually, every time I try to go back to debian, I arrive with a ton of motivation thinking "this time I am going to look deep into the issues and solve them!". This particular issue had no good solution: it would have required me to install the intel driver and accept that my system would probably break at the next big update. I am used to the old proprietary vs open debate and the horror of binary blobs. Here it is not the case.
