I have a T14 Gen 1 AMD and I get 7+ hours battery life on OpenBSD. Which is known to be worse than most any other OS. Sleep works fully and if I use sleep when I'm not using the laptop the battery can last 5+ days. Not sure how long because I've never left it unplugged for that long.

I don't suggest getting anything newer than the T14 Gen 1 AMD because they stopped including a real ethernet port among other things.

>>107616617
Oh one of the issues with the T14 (and all newer thinkpads) is the lack of removable battery without taking the case apart. The case is also not as good as older models. But it's better than any other modern laptop I've used.

Try to get one with the touchscreen. Since the touchscreen models have the best screens as far as nit/resolution/color is concerned. The touchscreen does work in OpenBSD by the way although I never use it because I'm not an idiot that wants fingerprints all over my screen.

The thumbprint readers on mine works fine in every Linux distro I've tried on it. The T14 (not T14s though) have soldered ram with a socket for extra RAM. Mine came with 32GB (16GB solders+16GB stick). If you get one make sure the soldered RAM is the 16GB version. There are a lot of 8GB ones floating around. Don't get one in an attempt to save a few bucks. Same goes for the screens tons of them out there with the lesser screens.

You want the real ethernet port as well because it makes it much easier to debug shit and install an OS. You also want the Intel wifi chip instead of the other kind I can't remember the vendor of which has worse support on POSIX OSs.

The default touchpad isn't that bad but you can replace it with a glass one pretty cheap if you want. The trackpoint on mine has functioned great and the keyboard isn't awful. But both aren't as good as the older thinkpads.

Last but not least: I suggest not charging the battery up to 100% unless you absolutely need it for extended stays away from the grid. Mine is set to only start charging the battery when it drops to 20% and it only charges up to 80%. I manually set it to charge to 100% whenever I need that extra 20% of charge. Extends the life of the battery. On OpenBSD this is easy to do via sysctl.

I no longer run Linux on mine. OpenBSD all of the time now. It does everything I need and 7 hours of battery time is plenty. Only takes about 30 minutes to charge the battery.

Concerning OSs on T14 Gen 1's OpenBSD was by far the best for working out of the box. Everything just werked post-install and install was painless. FreeBSD was a bit more of a pain to get up and running (mostly setting up Xorg and some driver issues) but it was pretty stable after I navigated all of that.

Getting everything working on Linux was a huge pain in the ass. Gentoo and Arch both required hours upon hours of fucking around with config files and pulling in random packages to get things working. Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora also required a lot of messing around to get everything working correctly. Linux on the thinkpad wasn't as painless as a lot of people like to pretend it is. If you haven't used an installer as good as OpenBSD's (and it sysupgrade tool) I suppose you wouldn't know it was possible to have a painless install/upgrade.

Windows 11 came with mine and I promptly ditched it but it worked fine for the week or so I had it on there before I could get around to replacing the OS.

The T14 Gen 1s have the ability to install a second SSD. I think that was removed from later models. Mine also has the ability to connect directly to the cell network. But I haven't used it because I didn't want to pay for a sim card just for the device. If you care about having that be mindful of what you buy because a lot of them didn't come with the cell modem. You'll also have to deal with the huge pain of getting it working on non-Windows OSs. I know it works on Linux at least.

I didn't bother with the thumbprint reader. Huge pain in the ass for something that does basically nothing useful. Instead I run FDE and unlock it with a password+key stored on a usb thumb drive.

On Linux mine can run any game I care about but I mostly play stuff like 2D fighting games and VNs so my needs aren't as resource intensive as most peoples with gaming. I obviously don't game on it at all anymore. At least not popular stuff.

>>107616747
One last thing I should have mentioned. I ran Guix on mine for about 3 months to play around with using it to manage the entire OS. Support was good but I spent more time messing with my local config than I did doing actual work. Getting support was a pain in the ass because the FSF people refuse to help you with these machines due to the binary blobs required for the drivers.

I don't have that issue with the OpenBSD people. A lot of them are using this exact machine and support is very good. You just pull what you need for GPU/wifi/etc with fw_update (runs automatically at install time and during updates). There were updates for the firmware just a few weeks back when OpenBSD's latest release came out. They worked fine without any issues or regressions. There was a bit of an issue with the wifi update but it never reached the stable tree before getting fixed.

I'm running -current OpenBSD on mine and have been for over a year now. I run sysupgrade -s about once a week or so and have had zero issues. Things are tested thoroughly before they hit the -current repos.

The handful of Linux-only stuff I need runs fine through vmm (virtual machine). But I've ditched most of that stuff lately. Most everything I needed was in the ports tree but even a lot of that I've stopped using. The most I use openbsd the more I prefer what comes with its base system. The only non-base system thing I'm still using is emacs. I've been using mg more and more lately but I still need emacs for viewing a lot of documents. I run the gtk2 version of the port and they provide a binary of it. So I no longer have to build from source like I do on most Linux distros these days.

I've had the laptop for 2 years now and its been a solid machine. I'll probably be using it a decade from now.

>>107616839
>The only non-base system thing I'm still using is emacs.
Slight correction: I also use Firefox and Ungoogled Chromium from ports. Both of which are fully pledged and unveiled. No more having to set-up jails and chroots to run browsers safely for day-to-day use. Everything works fine in Firefox as far as "modern web" stuff is concerned. I only have Chrome around for one website that isn't on the public web. I have a ton of about:config/user.js modifications for firefox of course along with a bunch of add-ons to tame the cancer. Even 4k videos on youtube function fine in the browser. But I usually use mpv+yt-dlp to watch videos these days. I wrote a shell script to search and browse youtube instead of having to use the website or one of the third party web based portals to it.

There is even support for some games on OpenBSD. Pretty active community of people gaming on it these days. Support for AAA stuff isn't great of course. But the actual GPU drivers are just as good as what you get with any Linux distro.

If you need a POSIX environment for work along with the usual Linux/UNIX tools OpenBSD is really good and much less of a pain to keep going than using Linux directly. As long as you can live without stuff like wine and bluetooth support. Since both were removed from OpenBSD's kernel due to security concerns.

If you do need wine+bluetooth+Linux emulation for binaries you can't build from source than FreeBSD is a great option. Fully supports running your AAA games and everything else. Just know that the developers of FreeBSD aren't running it as their day-to-day OS these days. Unlike OpenBSD where the developers actually use the OS for their day-to-day work.

If you really want Linux then I would suggest Gentoo or Arch. But only because Arch seems to have a lot of people using this particular machine. Gentoo is a better option if you're stuck with Linux.

No, it's going to take me a while to get to that. I'm trying to "perfect" that little bit during this phase, and the writing I've already done (which is a breddy gud amount) hasn't gotten to aliens, but it /has/ gotten to inter-dimensional beings.

I also had to redo my RSS feed because things have changed since back when I had one many years ago. Back then they had .rss extension, but now they have .xml. I didn't know until I used the W3C validator to check and make sure I was compliant.
