Thankful to Nanoraptor/Dana (will tag her elsewhere) for inadvertently reminding me to write this down. XD
Welp, I'm back in the saddle, I guess? Writing this gave me some nummy dopamine, so thank God for that!!!
Also, man is imgur ever a dreadful webshite. Just horrifying to use. XD

That was an enjoyable read. I had a #ThinkPad #L530 in 2013 for some school stuff. Once done, I blew away #Windows7 for #Debian. Almost* everything worked out of the box. Fast, stable, and reliable.
Had I not tripped over the power cable (and thus violently tearing apart the AC adapter plug and internal connection, I'd still have it.
I've seriously considered going for another ThinkPad but I have a handful of spare laptops at my disposal and my daily driver is a sweet #Dell #Latitude 5400 (also running Debian).
The only thing that didn't work was the red dot in the keyboard. Oddly, it was supported under #openSUSE.
