Sabaidee, Welcome!
This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.
This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.
Rules:
- Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
- Be excellent to each other.

I had a libre-booted X220 through college, and absolutely loved it. BUT it eventually couldn't keep up with my desire to be able to use Blender, Code::Blocks, and other more demanding software. Still miss that laptop.
My nostalgic laptop is the X200/X201. I owned a couple of them and from the pile of parts put together my dream machine with AFFS panel and deleted palmrest i7 with maxed RAM and Thai keyboard. Running OpenBSD.
I owned it and it was my sidekick for years. Took it to four different countries. At some point, I don't know why but I sold that thing for like $75, 7 years ago.
I have another one now, same AFFS panel mod and all, but it was built by someone else so it's not the same.
Similar situation here. I held on to mine until it couldn't run Godot 4 then finally moved up to a newer Thinkpad. I still miss that keyboard...
