I would probably recommend that someone who wants to use Guix system, should probably just go with a ThinkPad T400 or T200. You can probably buy one of those on ebay for $200-$400. Those are one of the few laptops that can be freed all the way down to the BIOS. I personally do not use libreboot (I use the nonfree fork), because under intense load, my T400 crashes. Using the nonfree fork of libreboot, my T400 does not crash under heavy load. And I use the sway window manager, with Firefox (is it ok to mention Firefox in this email channel?) via flatpak. > > live well, > vagrant > -- Joshua Branson (joshuaBPMan in #guix) Sent from Emacs and Gnus https://gnucode.me https://video.hardlimit.com/accounts/joshua_branson/video-channels https://propernaming.org "You can have whatever you want, as long as you help enough other people get what they want." - Zig Ziglar
