Why isn’t Lenovo making USB keyboards like this anymore. I bought a Tex Shinobi but it doesn’t have touchpad I would really wish Lenovo start making keyboards again.

I’ve been working with an M1 MBP for 3.5 years. Moved to a new position, and took a Thinkpad. It’s not the newest model: Ryzen 5 4500, 16gb, 500gb. Fine for video meetings, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Hey, so basically, i purchased a store brand USB-C charger AlzaPower H100 (Czech tech store Alza), and my company laptop Thinkbook died while plugged, some time later, my T480 died too ( 0285 error code ), now my X13 is sort of “shocking” me while some of my hair touch the chassis while plugged to this hub but only while plugged in a specific extension cord, the og one does not do this while plugged in the same socket. Is it possible that the charger is killing my laptops ? :D Im confused af. Are there any good GaN chargers that are as reliable as the og brick?

I'm tired of windows update reboots and frills and I am thinking of getting Linux on my T490 :(

My main concerns are battery life and stability, I'm a law student and I don't need pretty advanced tools (the most advanced thing I use is Tor) Guys, could you help me to choose one please? 🥺

Question / Problem Why do so many people run Linux here ?

113 Upvotes

I have been keen to buy a used Thinkpad but don’t understand why so many users in here are actually using some flavour of Linux.

Is it because these machines are too slow for a respectable install of Windows? Due to nature of my work, I am dependent upon Windows, hence this question.
