Anyone here using an old ThinkPad with Linux?

    My daily driver is a t450s running Fedora Kinoite. It’s great, all working fine, but browsing is getting a bit heavy on it, and battery life is less than an hour, so it’s mostly used stationary. Thinking of upgrading to a T14 G3.

      Have you considered getting a large external battery? My 2015 T450s on Fedora still gets 6-10h battery life with 97Wh between the two batteries. Mostly stock with a repasted CPU 6 years ago (probably needs to be done again) and an M.2 2242 as the boot drive, with a 2.5" SSD as the D: drive.
