@const_void@lemmy.ml because of quality of construction. I have thinkpad a running Linux that are more than 10 years old and all this without vendor support. Being able to find parts even after so many years is also important.Do any of these Linux friendly vendors have similar quality and similar prices?
Whenever I think about getting one of those systems I really don’t know if the company is going to exist in the next few years.

@hungry_freaks_daddy@lemm.ee yeah, some models are really durable. I have now purchased several more air force, they come in all sort of styles and can be used both for work (in some cases) and leisure
@hungry_freaks_daddy@lemm.ee I got some Nike air force that I purchased almost 5 years ago and have used to go to work. They seem a little worn out but are still fairly ok.
I have also purchased several pairs of second hand running shoes, they are all fine and I use them to literally run hundreds of miles.
So far so good with shoes in my experience.
@Kichae@kbin.social there will be several waves as Reddit deteriorates by the lack of tools and moderation.
@pizza_rolls@kbin.social this is expected, that is why fediverse is discussing about moderation all the time.
@polygon@kbin.social people have got used to the manipulative toxic mainstream social media and their ads and algorithms, that when they join fediverse or Thread inverse, they rediscover that none of that crap is really necessary and they were imposed on us so long ago that they felt normal. But they are not
@okbin@kbin.social it’s ok, people will gradually move out as Reddit deteriorates. Eventually most interesting people will be elsewhere, the platform will still exist but it will be an empty shell.
The important thing is for threadiverse to take flight and acquire a sustainable size, the rest will happen in time.
@InFerNo@lemmy.ml you should do the partition not the whole disk. Then create a new partition in the 32gb disk or mount the dd file with a loopback device and transfer the files to the whole 32gb disk
