 +  * Nov 2020 [[Pop!_OS]] - with Plasma! very impressive but again frequent [[power-outs|power-outs]]  
 +  * Late Nov 2020 [[Alpine]] Plasma good, non-gnu muscl based but Thunderbird non installable - dealbreaker, no [[power-outs|power-outs]] 
 +  * Early Dec 2020 [[Nix-OS]] freekin weird as a distro but also very very good so far no [[power-outs|power-outs]] yet, Plasma, learning curve.  
 +  * February 2021 got a new Laptop its a [[E14 Gen2 AMD Thinkpad]] from now on this page will be split into 2 sections one for my x220 and the other for the e14  
  
  
 +==== x220 ====
 +  * February 2021 [[Nix-OS]] Weird distro still no [[power-outs|power-outs]] yet, using KDE-Plasma, still experiencing a learning curve.
 +  * Mid May 2021 [[FreeBSD]] Excellent OS, up to date minimalish KDE, ipfw enabled, kdeconnect and syncthing configured  
 +  * Late May 2022 [[Debian]] After a year of running both Debian and FreeBSD on different machines, I decided to switch to Debian on the x220. 
 +
 +==== e14 ====
 +  * February 2021 I tried a few distros, hardware seems too new for mass support. I chose [[Kubuntu]] 20.10 as it //seems// to offer an easy route to a usable [[kde-plasma|KDE Desktop]]
 +  * Late November 2021 The [[Debian]] stable kernel finally caught up with my hardware - now rocking a Minimal(ish) KDE-Plasma on Debian 11
