Anyone here using an old ThinkPad with Linux?

    I wouldn’t say old, but it’s a Thinkpad. I’m using Aurora Linux on a work laptop. In order to not void the warranty, I’m using an M2 NVME drive via a USBC caddy. It’s been rock solid for more than a year and I get to plug it to my desktop PC and use it as a thumb drive to access all my laptop files.

    Great experience.

      Maybe it’s a driver (power management) issue but mine is way too power hungry for that. This thing guzzles 3% battery in 2 minutes. Also gets quite hot.
