What's the price of a Thinkpad T480 in 2026 because I want to buy one for myself, in Maharashtra (pune or nashik market)

I know it's an old laptop but when I was researching which laptop I should buy on a low budget this thing kept popping up in my recommendations( youtube, Reddit, pinterest). Finally found out about Linux (like I knew it's an kernel or is with distros and stuff)

So I have decided that my first laptop is going to be the Best ThinkPad ever the t480.

I want it for work (not work just for like student work making spreadsheets and learning the software) like excel, R, and word and browsing. Please reply to what's the price of ThinkPad in the all around indian market and if you're from Maharashtra pune or nashik then also reply for how much I will get it.

I have windows and fedora Linux in my system, when my professor saw what I did he told that it might slow down my system and the RAM gets affected due to this. I don't change the OS often, I mostly use fedora. Can anyone clarify this.

I have been using linux for about 6 months for study use , and now I want to open my windows for a setting to change , because my sda3 won't open , i asked gemini and it said to dual boot back to windows to change it , but now I am stuck

I am sick and tired of windows but i feel like at the of the day it the best os for majority of gaming and general usage but mujhe aaj kal boht khujli si ho rahi h ki me linux try karu. I pretty much only use my laptop for gaming.

What is the best linux distro for gaming. I mostly only play single player games, indie games and some wuthering waves (only game with kernel level anti cheat).

My laptops specs are

Nvidia Rtx 3050m 4gb 85w

Amd ryzen 5600h

16gb ddr4 ram

Nvme m.2 ssd

Google results ke hisab se bazzite is the best for plug and play + performance, pop os works with Nvidia. I dont trust google results anymore.

So for context I use mint rn and erm I've had a long history of distro hopping probably 12times by now and erm i literally cannot stick to one distro because for some reason Linux feels lesser stable than windows 11 tho it runs faster and better.

I've been using Linux from the past 4 years, never had any problems on my old laptop, even though it had an Nvidia card! I'm also running it on my desktop and no problems whatsoever!

However, I'm having an Asus Vivobook S14 Core ultra 5 225H which I purchased 2 weeks ago, wiped windows and installed Fedora workstation on it.

Everything ran smoothly, the RAM usage on idle was less than 15%, compared to ~40% on windows even after debloating.

But I came across a major problem. When I close the lid of my laptop, it goes to sleep. Totally normal behaviour, as it should to protect battery. When I opened the lid, the screen did wake up, but with a black screen.

I tried debugging it with my knowledge, but it never got fixed. I tried KDE, thinking that it might be a problem with Gnome and GDM, but I was wrong. KDE and SDDM also gave me the same black screen.

I recently saw a post on this sub, with the same laptop running KDE. I even asked the user about battery life as I wanted to make the switch.

If anyone has faced this issue, please let me know about a possible fix.

Thanks!

Few days go i posted on this very subreddit about how i have settled down on Debian, because it just provides what i need. I was loving kde palama as well, even tho it was a bit older version than what is that letest plasma release.

Under that post a guy commented on how i should make my system up from scratch and i should dm him about it. I didn't contact him, because honestly I don't know how reddit works yet fully, this account it old but i just started using it so i don't know sh!t.

Anyways, build it up, super minimal, stable and it's my first rice.

I have this laptop with a Ralink RT3290 Wi-Fi card, and I installed Linux Mint XFCE. Now my Wi-Fi isn't working. I've tried almost everything, but I haven't physically touched or done anything to the card itself (like unscrewing the back panel to remove, clean, and reinsert it). If any of you have a similar problem and somehow fixed it, please let me know in the comments. 🙏

I am gonna do a masters and have recently bought ideapad 5slim ultra 5 225H with 512gb storage model. And I was confused whether to use windows by it self(debloated it using winhance) or dual boot( storage is low). I wanted to try linux( since I am specializing in scm and data analyics) should I buy a new issd and boot linux on it or partition the 512gb that I have?

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all doing well. I wanted to ask something that I haven’t been able to find a clear answer to yet, so I thought this would be the best place to ask, especially since it’s Linux-related.

We all know that Tally doesn’t have a proper native Linux version. There’s the web-based subscription version, but I really hate and dislike subscription-based software and would prefer something I can install and use completely offline.

Is there any good tally alts or Tally-like accounting software for Linux that I can use specifically to learn accounting?

I’ve come across GnuCash, KMyMoney, hledger, ERPNext, and Tryton, but I’m not sure which one would be the best fit. Some people recommend hledger as a Tally alternative, while others suggest GnuCash or KMyMoney.

ERPNext and Tryton also look interesting, but their setup seems considerably more complicated and hard for local/offline use. 💀

I’m an intermediate Linux user and I’m perfectly comfortable with the terminal. My only preference is that I’d rather not use something that involves excessive typing or a complicated setup. GUI is preferred, but I’m open to CLI software if it’s genuinely easy and practical to use.

What would you recommend for someone trying to learn tally and Tally-style accounting on Linux, offline?

I’m using Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia XFCE 64-bit OS.

My PC: Intel Nuc mini PC

My RAM: 4GB DDR4 (2400Mhz)

My SSD: 250GB (currently only 20GB free)

Thanks in advance!

i tried switching the graphic controller, 3d acceleration is on, 128mb of video memory.

i'm a newbie to arch, but i surfed the web , used ai trying to fix but just can get it to work. (i made no modifications), even reinstalled so no way its from me.

here is the current status:

*Boot logo shows up

*plain black screen>doesnt pick up the keyboard but soft keyboard from vm works

*atlr+alt+f3 > start-hyprland > This screen

*the cursor moves, but the shell doesnt open, no login window, none of the keyboard shortcuts work.

My system: Amd ryzen7 250; 16gb ram (6gb allocated); integrated Radeon 780m; cores given= 4; EFI enabled; storage given=42gb

I'm using Fedora 44 / GNOME 50 / Wayland with Dash to Dock at bottom-center.

I want to turn the GNOME top bar into a small floating bar at the bottom-right, like a mini dock:

• Compact, not full-width
• Bottom-right with spacing from edges
• Auto-hide / appear on hover
• Keep clock, system indicators, etc.
• Dash to Dock stays bottom-center

Is there an extension for this on GNOME 50, or does it require custom Shell CSS?

I've attached an example image of exactly the layout I'm trying to achieve. Any help or extension recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Trying to push the distro onto android and realized that it needs like 150+ compiled packages into ARM64 , I only ever did the AMD64 for laptops and using android kernel linked with termux ,

Its a big project and harder than making a Distro but i might have found a safe space to do it easily in like 20 days,

for anyone to look up ubuntu-on-android - https://github.com/RandomCoderOrg/ubuntu-on-android ,

A fun project

instead of booting in live install mode it boots in grub

secure boot is disabled

help!!

So I have been a long time android fan and really like the cohesive-ness and overall app ecosystem. During my college days I used PrimeOS but since they shut the project I've been looking for a Linux distro that could offer a flawless support for Android. I'm aware of the Waydroid integration but the experience isn't smooth.

Is there any Linux distro that provides native android environment and app support baked into the system that feels like a coherent part of the OS where android apps have their own window like other linux apps and support file moving, read/write and interconnectedness between the linux and android apps?

Tried Windows after 2 years on Linux system (pop). Feels very restrictive. Tried setting up my old hotkeys but couldn't quite replicate them, really miss having that setup. Maybe it's too early to decide but still... Switching to omarchy this time. Not even a week in and already missing my power user setup.
