My new favorite tiny laptop from 2010 (Thinkpad X201, Void Linux)
Today I'm talking about what may be my new favorite Thinkpad, the new(ish) to me X201. I talk hardware setup, void as my distro of choice, and the suckless kind of approach to keeping this thing lean and fast. We'll talk about vxwm on xorg, as well as a handful of new compositors I'm trying under the swc. With limited resources its important to be intentional, but this 16 year old sub notebook is still a great time.
