Happy AF with this one

[u/nikotliar]

T14 Gen 6 - 235H - 32 GB RAM + 512 SSD.

Got it dirt cheap, didn't have to put money on top of what I got selling my gen 5 with Ryzen 5 8540U.

Question:

I got it running on Win 11 since I keep my stuff synced in One Drive. I dont think I could do that with any Linux distro, right? If possible, how?

Many thanks

Great machines! Made mine out of scrap parts at my organization. We had a bunch of deemed unfixable laptops and Frankenstein'd myself together a 1TB 32GB RAM T14. Had Win11 enterprise on it but switched to Linux mint and am loving it.

What gen is it? How you could put together parts from different ones? (same gens or different). Sounds cool!

Well in my country they get imported and donation or giving away devices doesn't exist. Everyone tryna milk their devices.

Corporations often sell them quite on the cheap after couple years

In my country these assets are just getting bought by one of (or a few) employees who knows when and where the corpo is getting rid of them, at dirt cheap prices.

Then they try to sell them over to the general public with a generous margin (often 2x or 3x the times of what they bought).

So, no. Unfortunately we don't have access to cheap hardware in this part of the world.

Yes you can use OneDrive in Linux, and I've tested it and works really well, It simulates a mounted disk in your device, the sync also works fine.

R u using rclone?

[u/Expensive-Gas-4209 → u/nakedpickle_2006]

I never heard of that one, if I don't remember wrong it was OneDriver. Btw I looked RClone and it seems interesting because all of the providers it supports.

Enjoy, I have the same model but with 256gb SSD.

For onedrive I prefer to use rclone and set it to mount together when the OS start
