Framework laptop with a ThinkPad keyboard

Any issues running Mint on a Thinkpad P50/P53 (advice please)

ThinkPads are generally considered to be goated in regards to Linux support. Mint should be perfectly fine because it's based on Ubuntu, and Canonical works with Lenovo to validate hardware compatibility. Don't know about specifically P50/P53, but they're usually good.

Record your streams alwayssss

Okay. Looking up the specs, both the lower and higher end models of the P53 it would struggle a bit in the stream and writing at the same time. The throttling (where you're maxing out the specs and it starts struggling to stream) for the lower spec P53 models would be bottlenecks at the CPU just not
