I bought a new used laptop, Lenovo Thinkpad T480. I wanted to buy a new laptop, and I had a choice to get new or used. If I decide to buy a new one the choice is very simple - System76. I adore their laptops; they are Linux friendly, reliable, and good. However, due to circumstances, I decided to spend less and buy a used laptop. Here I also had a choice.

Recently I have bought a new laptop. Actually, it is not new, it is used. This is the second time when I have done so. My first used laptop was a Lenovo T420; it was quite a while (around 6-7 years). It was just a bid on ebay and I bought it :) I like it very much. I did upgrade it (increased RAM, installed SSD, changed the WIFI card twice).

Currently I have two machines with Linux. One is my main desktop, where I run Debian Bookworm with Gnome. Second is my new Thinkpad laptop, where I installed Slackware 15 with KDE. This post is only Slackware. As you may know it is my first Linux distributive ever. I did not use it for a while. So I decided to make it my main OS on the laptop. Installation is pretty trivial and it did not take a long time to do.

Today, suddenly, I felt compelled to write about Miss X. As is customary in the 21st century, I met her online. She was quite intriguing, and we struck up a conversation. However, soon enough, the dialogue fizzled out, and we never managed to arrange a real meeting. The lessons from this mundane tale are simple: meet in person as soon as possible; I’m not adept at communicating via the internet. In real life, my communication skills aren’t stellar either, but I believe I can present myself in a better light.

A poignant and concise tale of life and death, of subjectivity. The protagonist loses his mother and decides to make a film about her, capturing all the events of her final journey. This setup, perhaps the most crucial, will likely unfold closer to the story’s end. Spoilers are futile. Each of us fails to see the real world; we are all surrounded by our own misconceptions and subjective perceptions. There’s a certain peculiarity to this manga, but it only enhances its appeal.
