Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you're still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying "well I buy a cheap used laptop" or "well I buy coffee beans and make my own coffee" are completely missing the fucking point.
Don't tell yourself your consumption is moral. All of us make unethical choices every day because there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Accept your shame and guilt and let it drive you to do better.
As Linux enthusiast I think I have to jump in and say if you're not using a 10-year-old Thinkpad bought second hand running EndeavorOS you're not a true socialist
(Obviously I'm not serious but Poe's Law is a bitch)
Erm I run arch by the way
~~jump in~~ interject for a moment
FTFY.
If you're not running a Libreboot Thinkpad T500 with Hyperbola GNU/Linux installed, you're not a true socialist.
that's the thinkpad my grandparents had before getting a new one in 2020
Are there any Thinkpads with dedicated gpus? I did a bit of a search but could only find ones with integrated graphics which for me is a deal breaker
ThinkPad X1 Extreme. Good luck on getting it at a low price, though.
Yes several. Some have quadro graphics for professionals too.
