Maerman ,

I'm in Daegu myself. Enjoy the relative progressiveness of the capital city. Down here that guy would get beaten.

Maerman ,

Thanks. Luckily there are some people here who have a smidge of empathy. They are few and far between, but not nonexistent.

Maerman ,

Never spend time in South Korea. They put corn and sweet potato on pizza. And that's just where it starts.

Maerman OP ,

Nice, I'm happy that you enjoy your machine. I hope it continues to bring you joy for years to come.

Maerman OP ,

Thanks. I'm already having so much fun. My older laptop has NVIDIA hybrid graphics, so I was actually a bit flabbergasted at how little I had to do to get Linux working properly on this thing.

Maerman OP ,

I really want to reply to this post sincerely, but that other reply just takes the cake.

Maerman OP ,

Why, is the Intel option sub-par? I just got the AMD version because my older laptop has NVIDIA hybrid graphics, which is a serious pain in the ass on Linux. I also wanted to play with Wayland. But why do you dislike the Intel version?

Maerman OP ,

Ah, that's unfortunate. I haven't really had a chance to push this machine very much, so I can't say from experience whether it's really better.

Maerman OP ,

Thank you; I am enjoying it very much so far. It blows my 5-year-old Acer Nitro 5 out of the water. I hope you enjoy yours too.

Maerman OP ,

That is very strange. I wonder how that decision got made. But funnily enough, that is the exact reason I went for the T16 over the Z16, which was priced similarly during the sale I took advantage of for this. I could have swallowed the lack of USB-A ports, because docks are not that expensive where I live, but for fuck's sake. Give me rj45 or give me death.

Maerman OP ,

I had a budget, Lenovo in my country was having a massive sale, and this is my first Thinkpad, so I have nothing to compare it to.

Maerman OP ,

I might die of excitement now, though.

Maerman OP ,

Naturally. I have the Arch logo tattooed on my forehead.

Maerman OP ,

This is my first ever Thinkpad, so I can't be disappointed by the comparison. What I can compare it to, though, is my old Acer Nitro 5, and it is miles ahead of that one. The build quality, the keyboard, everything is superior on the Thinkpad.

Maerman OP ,

Awesome. Now here's hoping neither of us drop our brand new machines on the ground.

Maerman OP ,

Thank you for being sincere in this reply; you could easily have gotten defensive. And sorry if my reply seemed overly snarky. I'm not very good at social media.

Maerman OP ,

Also, I would like to say that this is why I love Lemmy. The community is just so much friendlier and more empathetic than a place like Reddit. Thank you for reinforcing my perception.

Maerman OP ,

Damn straight. Well, good luck out there. I hope you only have good experiences on Lemmy. And you can feel good knowing you gave this guy the warm and fuzzies.
