Laptop brands?

En brugt Lenovo ThinkPad som fx X280 eller X390 (2 betyder 12" og 3 betyder 13" hvor X betyder det er den lette bærbare serie) så de ikke skal slæbe på en for stor maskine. Jeg har givet mine børn de 2 modeller og de er super glade for dem modsat de fleste i deres klasser som har Acer maskiner der e

Next best distro?

If you like KDE, you may want to try Kubuntu. I use Ubuntu on all my ThinkPads ever since Ubuntu became a thing, and it generally works fine, but rarely is completely issue-free. Then again my newest ThinkPad is a 6-year-old X390, and I would expect more bleeding edge issues with the very latest har

Is it safe to update UEFI and KEK while dual booting

No update is 100% safe, but I personally wouldn't worry. Especially if you have secure boot turned off, which means none of these things (dbx, nor the CA certs) will even be used during boot. The apparent hugeness of the jump is merely a side effect of CA root certificates having extremely long expi

My X390 Yoga!

Yes, these are nice, enjoy! Especially for systems that weren't used much and are in mint condition, make sure that TB firmware and BIOS are updated (https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/ch/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x390-yoga/solutions/ht508988) so you don't get cau

Best high end Linux laptops?

This is old, but I noticed that my Lenovo X390 Yoga has a fully functional Wacom tablet with stylus and multitouch. Works great with Fedora. Cheapest Cintiq, I can think of.

Best small ThinkPad with pencil support to buy in 2025?

The smallest and lightest Yoga-branded Thinkpads are the X-series ones. Those went to 13.3" screens (from 12.5") in 2018 with the X380 Yoga series. The footprint remained basically the same compared to the 12.5" displays that were used before, the bigger screen basically just had smaller bezels (pro

Fingerprint scanner support

The fingerprint scanner on my ThinkPad X390 didn't work when I bought it and installed Ubuntu on it. It works today. I had to wait a few years and upgrade a few Ubuntu releases, and also upgrade the fingerprint scanner firmware (from Ubuntu, using fwupmgr or one of its many GUI frontends). The firmw
