One of the reasons I like Thinkpads so much is the support of the community with mods, parts and so on. Feel free to hmu if you need Thinkpad help lol.

That's specifically why I got mine. It's a shame I couldn't find good deals on a T440P in my area but even the regular T440 should be enough for my needs. Thanks for the link btw! Interesting that the T440 has a military certification lmao

I managed to bag a Lenovo Thinkpad T440 for quite cheap as a replacement to my old laptop and I've been wondering about upgrading it.

Problem is the T440 is quite hostile when it comes to upgrading, unlike the T440p. Replacing, for example, the CPU is basically impossible as it's soldered directly to the board. And so I've been thinking about something stupid a.k.a. replacing the motherboard entirely with a T440s board, which has a better CPU soldered onto it.

In theory the two boards should have the same dimensions and should be interchangeable, but does anyone know if that's actually the case? I couldn't find much about this kind of swap online, so I thought asking here would be a good idea.

The polish side of the internet has a few hidden gems like that. This one's from 16 years ago. krzyk pterodaktyla (pterodactyl's scream)

Weird, the software manager (using LM 21.3) reports 1.1GB dl, 2.4GB installed (which is different from when i checked yesterday for some reason?). flatpak install reports around 2.1GB of dependencies and the package itself at just 1.3MB

EDIT: nvm im stupid, the other reply explains the discrepancy

For the past few years, I just install the latest stable version of anything I use and never bother touching or tweaking anything ... never had a problem since.

And that's exactly how I'm trying to approach everything after the reinstall. I like tinkering with my system, but after a couple months it really starts messing with everything.

It's funny seeing this like literally a couple days after I decided it would be easier to reinstall my Mint sysyem than to fix the audio issues Pipewire was causing. I'm back on PulseAudio and haven't had issues since.

I've been wanting to diversify my set of apps for a while now, and the recent purchase of SMT by ZipoApps finally gave me the push to do so.

Right now I've replaced my gallery with Aves, my file manager with Material Files, and my voice recorder with Record You.

And that's about it. I still need a replacement for Simple Dialer and Simple SMS Messenger (Contact You doesn't support MMS and it would be really nice to have MMS support), Simple Calculator, and Simple Notes (looking specifically for an app with a dedicated widget like the one SN has).

Can anyone recommend something for the apps I'm still missing?

Oh damn, I didn't even realise how capable Orage was. Thanks a lot!

Seems solid, I'll check it out, thanks!

Good point, though I don't remember Linux Mint's XFCE calendar being able to set up events. I'll make sure when I get back home

I really need to start organising things and a calendar on my PC where I could set up events would really help. No other fluff, quite literally just a program that shows me the current month and handles events, perhaps with like a notification function or something along these lines.

Given how simple this would be I'd code one myself, but I haven't got the time to do so at the moment, so I just wanted to ask if anyone's able to recommend something similar to that.
