I’ve been using Linux Mint for several years now, but I’m not 100% happy anymore.

My laptop is old:

Lenovo ThinkPad X250
Intel i5-5200U
4 GB RAM
128 GB SSD
Intel HD Graphics 5500

Currently running Linux Mint Xfce, but I’d like to see what else is out there.

What distro would you recommend for this setup?

Okay, I think I underestimated Mastodon.

I joined a few hours ago, posted a little #introduction, mentioned Linux, handwritten HTML, blogging, and missing the old internet…

…and apparently that was enough for the Fediverse to collectively adopt me like a stray HTML goblin.

My notifications are chaos.
People are kind.
Nerds are everywhere.

I may have finally found my corner of the internet. 😄

Help. I barely arrived on Mastodon and people are already favoriting and boosting my first post.

And here I was thinking it wasn’t even that meaningful.

Apparently, simply showing up as a human being on the internet still works.

That’s kind of beautiful, honestly.

Well then… I’m officially on Mastodon now.

Still allergic to Meta.
Still blogging like it’s 2003.
Still writing HTML by hand like a digital cave goblin with principles.

Hello Fediverse. 🖤
