Go for it. I just finished up a project with an x200 laptop and Libreboot. It was fun, I learned a lot, it's interesting.
If you're new to this kind of thing, you may have questions during the process. My advice:
>read documentation
>RE-READ documentation
>read it again
>use google
>read mailing lists
>RE-READ mailing lists
>if you end up on a mailing list, ask smart questions
>if you end up on IRC, ask smart questions

My trips confirm. Also as you probably know, that board is supported.

>>56213961
yeah, there's only 3 mobos supported and this one looks like the only viable option.

I really hate to bring up one of the oldest holy wars in computing but I have no idea which text editor to use
For the longest time I used nano, simple, lightweight, didn't think anything was wrong with it. But it started running into problems with certain languages, for instance PHP displays as all one line half the time even when the source was formatted propperly, and getting it configured for a language it doesn't support out of the box can be a pain.
I really wanna like emacs because it seems so damn powerful, but to be honest the commands are pretty fucking confusing, but I like Lisp a lot so I might wind up customizing it
Vim on the otherhand is clean and lightweight, but it's just as hard to use as emacs.
My question is am I wrong to wanna use both, just kinda learn them and pick whatever suits me best at the time?
Or is there a reason people treat their text editors like a cult, where once you pick a side there's no turning back?
Out of these three I want to like emacs but my favorite is vim

If you can learn both, use both.
Most people learn one and use that one because it works and don't care for the other.
Emacs is a platform on its own. vim is another tool to use with others. Choose what you prefer.

Spacemacs is emacs combined with Vim. It's great.

>Vim on the otherhand is clean and lightweight, but it's just as hard to use as emacs.
I think emacs is harder to use anon, because it's basically an OS
I haven't used it much though. I mostly use vim but I'm not vim wizard either

If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", ultraportable
----
Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage 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, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

Why did social media have to become a requirement nowadays?
I just cannot bring myself to put my real name on the Internet, the "old school 90s" mentality prevents me from doing so. Ever since I was a kid everyone around me told me to never put my name on the internet, never put my real information on the internet, and now it's a requirement.
I know my name is on here, and I know any idiot who wanted to could play NSA and find out everything about me with a couple clicks at most, but regardless I just don't feel right making an account myself with my real name, real pictures, real backstory and things. I have a gmail account obviously, but with a fake name.
How the fuck do I shake this autism off of me?

The Soprod A-10 is actually an ETA 2892 competitor/replacement base on the Seiko 4L25 movement but it is produced entirely inhouse at Soprod including escapement and hairspring.
