After a complete reinstall, I had to #SSH from another computer so my eyeballs didn't strain trying to read tiny font on Thinkpad T480s screen, then I followed the steps here to install KDE:

Got a #KDE desktop in user session. Had to add config file for wifi under /etc/hostname.iwm0 cause wifi can't be configured through KDE
Which isn't ideal for everyday use and portability.
I don't think BT will ever work.
Things I still need to do:
configure doas for ease of use commands
setup my standard array of apps
learn pf
set up a snapshot for when I inevitably break something
set up keyboard shortcuts
upload dmesg somewhere? (Cause that's what the cool #BSD kids do?)Anything else please let me know.

My internet #broadband #latency of 70 ms on the #ThinkPad #T480s running #nixos and using #firefox is seemingly pants. The #iPad pro has 8ms . What hardwear factors determine this number and is there an upgrade one can do the the ThinkPad hardwear or softwear ? Or is this number determined by the browser performance? Does the number matter? (I just don´t like it when #apple stuff is clearly vastly better .....) #thinkpadt480s

Any ideas how to get an #LTE #SIM recognised (see photo) and working i.e. providing internet when plugged in over #mobilenetwork #WWAN ? My configuration.nix already has
modemmanager package installed. Aha.. checking if I have a WWAN card at all.... looks like I need one of these https://www.thinkstore24.de/ersatzteile-zubehoer/lte-wwan-module/2901/fibocom-l830-eb-4g-lte-wwan-modem-lenovo-thinkpad-t480-s-l480-l580-p52s-t580-x280-x380-yoga?c=80 -
