4chan is full of shit, but it also provides some interesting and in useful information, here I'll summarize the so called "Generals"

## /tpg/ - ThinkPad General
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T, X, and W/P Series if you want the Real Business Experience™
Other business laptops are welcome in /tpg/ (Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook)
Why ThinkPad?
Used machines are plentiful and cheap
Excellent keyboards, tactile feel and quiet
Great durability: magnesium roll cage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels
Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models
Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop
Easy to repair (most models), upgrade & maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model, spare parts easy & cheap to obtain
Excellent Linux & BSD support
ThinkWiki - General info about ThinkPads/specs
https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki
Classic models:
X220/X230 - 12", 768p, cheap and light
T420/T430 - 14", 900p (1080p w/mod board), Ivy Bridge support on T420 w/coreboot, quad core upgrade, classic keyboard mod on xx30 series
T520/530; W520/530 - 15", 1080p, DTR, 32GB RAM on quad core models
T440p/540p; W540/1 - last ThinkPads with socketed processors, easily replaceable trackpad (W541 doesn't need trackpad replacement)
T440s/T450(s)/T460(s)/T470(s) - ultraportables, good battery life
T480 - last ThinkPad with swappable battery, T25 keyboard mod, excellent performance/battery life, getting cheaper
Upgraded models:

/g/ makes a tenth album
Theme: Boardcore: Songs based on the boards from everyones favorite cambodian scrapbooking BBS
Title: <number of="" songs="">Traditional Mongolian Basket Weaving Songs
Submission deadline: TBA</number>
Please post album covers, and keep in mind that if you want to include text, you might want to also upload the project file (or layers + font) so that once the tracklist is finalized I can make a proper version, in case you're not present at that time. Otherwise I'm probably going to photoshop something if possible.
Or ideally you can upload a cover for each number between 10 and 30, if you're willing to put in the time.
Also please post theme suggestions for the next (11th) album
IMPORTANT! READ THIS BEFORE SUBMITTING:
Upload the file somewhere and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
If possible use a lossless format and upload to a file-sharing service, not to a music site like Vocaroo or SoundCloud.
Include the title of the song in the post. Don't rely on us reading it from the filename or tags.
When you post the submission make sure that the song is clearly a submission for the album, otherwise it might get skipped.
Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT (but will still be added to the album).
If your track's volume goes above 0 dB it will be clipped for the release.
Where can I hear the previous albums?
https://rentry.org/dmpalbums
A board dedicated to all aspects of music making and audio would be great for many reasons. Here's why:

## /fwt/ - Friendly Windows Thread
Share Windows tools, utilities, tips & tricks.
FAQ:
How do I activate Windows?
https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts
HWID mimics upgrade activation to generate a permanent legitimate license. (non-VL only)
- Which W10 version should I install?
- Home/Pro
- Comes with bloatware apps (games, music, news, etc) and bloatware system apps
- Edu/Workstation/Enterprise
- Comes with bloatware system apps (weather, people, onedrive, teams, etc).
- Enterprise LTSC, 5 years support, VL/KMS only
- Enterprise IoT LTSC, 10 years support, HWID only
- Comes with Win32 system utils, no MS Store, no apps. It's basically W10: W7 Edition
- If you need MS Store, run this in cmd: wsreset -i
- Install Xbox/Gamebar apps for feature parity with other versions.
Do I even need IoT LTSC?
W10 Home/Pro/Edu/Ent editions end support in 2025, LTSC in 2027, IoT LTSC in 2032.
How do I activate Office?
[https://github.com/abbodi1406/KMS\_VL\_ALL_AIO/releases](https://github.com/abbodi1406/KMS_VL_ALL_AIO/releases)
Emulated KMS server, not ideal as it can trip AV and deactivate. Alternatively, use MSOffice through your browser since it's free.
Or you can try OnlyOffice/LibreOffice and set it to save as MSOffice file formats.

## /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread
Before asking for help, please check our list of resources.
If you would like to try out GNU+Linux you can do one of the following:
1. Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU+Linux distribution without installing anything.
2. Keep using your current OS and run GNU+Linux in VirtualBox.
3. Do the reverse of step 2 in QEMU.
4. Replace everything with GNU+Linux.
Resources: Please spend at least a minute to check a web search engine with your question.
Many free software projects have active mailing lists.
```bash
$ man %command%
$ info %command%
$ %command% -h/--help/-?
$ help %builtin/keyword%
