 ====== The X220 Thinkpad Laptop ======
-Possibly the greatest of all Laptops, it holds a special place in my heart, which is why I have 2, and why two of my children also have one each, and why I have 2 x220 motherboards destined to become either home media streaming machines or home servers (maybe even a proxmox host)

-===== Linux =====
+Some hardware details can be found on the [[x220]] page
-I have used Linux since somewhere between 2003 and 2004, [[My Linux Journey|here]] is a page that shows my Linux Journey, I am currently running Debian Bullseye with KDE-Plasma
-===== BSD =====
+====== The E14 Gen2 AMD Thinkpad Laptop ======
+I recently decided that despite how fantastic the [[x220]] is for a 10 year old laptop, it is still a //**10 year old laptop**// and with my having to relinquish my second 'testing' machine to my youngest son for his online learning, it was time to get something new, I was looking at various models of Thinkpad however I was reluctant to spend more that £1000 on a new laptop and ended up choosing to purchase the ~£900 [[E14 Gen2 AMD Thinkpad|E14]] Gen2 AMD Thinkpad, which a has a powerful AMD Ryzen 7 (4700u) processor in it. I will be collecting my thoughts and progress with Linux on the [[E14 Gen2 AMD Thinkpad|E14]] page.

+====== Linux ======
+I have used Linux since somewhere between 2003 and 2004, [[My Linux Journey|here]] is a page that shows my Linux Journey and the Distro's I am presently using.
+====== BSD ======
-BSD is that 'Other' opensource operating system that is not Linux, My second x220 laptop runs FreeBSD , its a fantastic Operating System and runs the KDE-Plasma desktop well
+FreeBSD is that 'Other' opensource operating system that is not Linux, there are quite a few different BSD operating systems
-===== Other related shiz =====
+==== x220 ====
-KDE-Plasma, I used to run those Minimal Tiling managers , I did it for years, I even created my own LiveCD a few years ago highlighting many of these lighter environments. Then I rediscovered KDE Plasma which is stupidly configurable and surprisingly light
+Prior to redeployment as a Windows device for online schooling my second x220 laptop ran FreeBSD, its a fantastic Operating System and runs the KDE-Plasma desktop well
+==== e14 ====
+Not as yet tried any BSD on this machine, may do so in the future.
+For more details about BSD (and some Thinkpad specific details) just follow [[BSD|this link]]

 Linux and FreeBSD CLI. Just because I run a full desktop environment does not mean I don't use the command line. In Linux I use Konsole with the Bash shell, In FreeBSD I use Konsole with tcsh.  I will be creating pages that explore my favourite CLI apps and how I use them
+[[Coreboot]] is an alternative Bios firmware that delivers a lightning fast and secure boot, I have 'corebooted' 3 of the 4 fully assembled x220's I have had, and have two x220 motherboards (with physical defects) that I have also 'corebooted', its not a difficult process, but it is fairly a involved process
 Many other things to follow, I hope you as a reader will follow this new journey with me
+====== Coffee? ========
+Coffee? Yes, I like Coffee!
