I just bought a ThinkPad T420, which I have read has pretty great macOS support. Should I install macOS on it or Arch Linux? I've never actually used macOS, so I wanna give it a shot without paying out the ass, should I go for it? (By the way, I already bought the wireless card for it so I'm good to go)

Sounds like you already made up your mind. Why ask?
>>
>>59965477
Having some last minute thoughts about it, so thought I should ask if it's worth it.

Dual booting with a 320 gb hard drive seems pretty stupid
>>
>>59965532
get a second hard drive and put it in the optical bay, it's not like you're gonna use your dvdrw
>>
>>59965462
I'm thinking of buying a T420 too. Is it just a meme because "420" or some dumb crap? I don't really want to waste any money

win7 of course
>>
>>59965786
it is a meme. perfectly suitable laptop though. if you want a sturdy general purpose laptop and don't need top specs I would steer you towards refurbished Dell Latitudes, they tend to be like 80 dollars less than the thinkpads with equal specs and are just as good if not better.

>Arch Linux

t420 bros. i put arch on mine and riced it and it's cozy as fuck. now all i need is a programming project...

Arch.

macOS for extra comfy experience
>>
>>59965462
Give it a shot for a couple hours. If it's fully functional and stable on macOS, then hell yeah, keep it.
>>
MacOS is pretty fucking comfy
The software support is nice & it looks great.
If you can use Xcode flawlessly, then you're set for a good developing environment.
>>
>>59965462
arch linux if you want to be able to easily install any application with a single command and have an overall great dev machine

macOS if you want to choke on a black dick sometime in the near future
>>
>>59965786
generic laptop, ancient specs and screen

overrated for some reason by neckbeard
>>
>>59965786
the T420 is a meme because of the 420. thinkpads aren't a meme though.

Should've bought an elite book, cheaper, much easier to upgrade and it would have had a 3rd gen i5
>>
>>59970552
and it would overheat to fuck, the hinges would break after opening it twice and the screen would be even shittier (which is actually a godlike feat thinking about how shit the t420 screen is)
fall for the right memes kids

>>59970279

its so fucking bad, i shouldve just gotten a xps 13 instead
