Before spending too much time troubleshooting Linux Mint I would try something that’s a bit further along with the kernel updates considering your gpu.

Another app I’ve heard about is https://buyeuropean.io/
They’re running on US tech though.
I can’t find any proper tests on the matter but here’s someone with the Thinkpad X13 with the same CPU answering the battery question.

GOG stands for Good Old Games and preserving those and fixing them to be playable on modern systems is part of their business plan. Install GOG Galaxy and you can install the games with a few clicks, after buying them of course.

Pfft, why argue the name of donut holes when you can create a trinut?
I mean the largest problem in a business sense has always been cooperating with other businesses.
That microsoft excel file your distributor sent you with builtin macros and code that just won’t function correctly in libreoffice calc and so on.
It’s already a source of friction when university folks in sweden primarily using the google workplace want to coordinate with businesses in sweden that are mostly using microsoft office.
In construction the most common way to coordinate with subtractors is through microsoft teams/sharepoint online, at least here in sweden.

I mean it’s been talked about over and over again leading to US accusing TikTok of spying on users and EU* banning Huawei and ZTE from 5G infrastructure.
But end users just doesn’t care. They click accept all on every popup without even reading if it’s cookies or to allow the site to send scam antivirus notifications.

*Not all EU countries has chosen to ban them.

In the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began in 2022, critics say that Telesur has spread Russian disinformation in Latin America.
Only thing I dislike about the T14s is that you have to dissassemble everything to replace the keyboard. On the T14 it’s so much easier.
A refurbished Lenovo T14 or T16 should do it.

While I’m morally in the opnsense camp I know pfsense has more third party packages available.
Running docker in an lxc sounds interesting, I’m a bit old school and enjoy the isolation that a true vm gives you.
You will probably want to enable the non-free rpmfusion repository. I can’t remember if that is an option during install, but if not here’s how to do it with the console:
