From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Due to no mousepad I would recommend installing a tiling wm like sway (forgot to mention I use a Thinkpad, yes I know about the nipple. But consider the extremely high quality keyboard).
You can just tickle the ni…trackpoint?
Yeah just rub the clit
I have rubbed the Thinkpad nipple many times and I occasionally use it, I still prefer the keyboard
It will sulk if you don’t touch its thing
nah trackpoint is just a better touchpad
I use a Thinkpad, the trackpad is nice but honestly I prefer the keyboard for navigation
My first laptop was a handed down R52.
Thanks to that, I never got good with a touchpad.
Now, it's either mouse or a trackpoint for me.
IMHO, it has a TrackPoint, there's no need for a a trackpad. I have a x201 on Linux Mint and literally just disable the trackpad.
maybe I will, how's the 32bit compatibility in your experience?
Not sure, my Thinkpad uses a 64bit CPU (t440p)
I looked it up and it nowhere said 32bit and I won't compile it myself
I checked and it should be in the repos, if it's not use i3.
