#x230tablet — Public Fediverse posts

What's the deal with #Linux (specifically, #Debian) and #multimonitor setups (specifically, with #ThinkPad and #DisplayPort)?

I have an #X230Tablet with a monitor (VGA) and an e-ink screen (HDMI over DisplayPort) in addition to its in-built screen, but I can only use two of them at a time. The third one just remains blank, and whichever it is, only starts working when I disable one of the other two 🫣️

Is this a general thing or just a "me and my laptop" thing?

@DavittoKun @landley Tho I'd rather prefer something like my trusty #P11Z or a #NUCbook or a @frameworkcomputer because having the option to go with a #GUI desktop like @tails / @tails_live / #Tails is nice...

Sadly noone made something similar that comes in the form factor of my #X230Tablet or smaller with like fully upgradeable RAM & SSD as well as toolfree swappable batteries.
Even the #Framework seems to be a regression in that part...

But yeah, I could just put #OS1337 on like a USB flashdrive and boot that or if I'm extra lazy use something like #Ventoy so I don't need to reflash stuff but can just drag & drop any image onto.

@agatha /me *slaps my trusty #X230Tablet* "This #ThinkPad rocks an i5-3320M and 2x8GB DDR3-1600 and runs @ubuntu LTS 22.04 #linux all day..."

@frameworkcomputer Sadly no undercradle-dock like my #X230Tablet so I can't add a #NeoFloppy to it!

@stdevel @frameworkcomputer

Also it has a glued-in battery so tough shit when that thing inevitably dies.

And I really need like a non-shitty #Keyboard for the #NUCbook anyway...



Granted, I'm likely not gonna buy the #Framework either since it has a non-toolfree - swappable battery and thus is a #Downgrade from my trusty #X230Tablet!

But right now their laptop is by far the best when it comes to "you can at least order it"...

Sadly they've yet to get it to business level availability.

@stuartl same reason why I'll stick with my #X230Tablet until I got either the #NUCbook done or it breaks apart...

I want my shit #repairable.

If I can'd #DIY and/or freely choose who to trust with my #repair, then I don't own it!

Doesn't mean the manufacturer is responsible if I f**k up unless the manufacturer decided to work against me and my interests on my property!

@antijingoist because if I wanted working support for a #Pen input, I'd just use my #X230Tablet with @ubuntu #Ubuntu LTS...

Because #ItJustWorks!

@miles @stdevel very relatable...

I need to get the #NUCnook done for some #Chonky #Covertible...

Because #TiltySwiely Pen Screens rule...

You may want to consider a #Toughbook #CF19Mk7 or #X230Tablet tho...

@stdevel I still daily drive my #X230Tablet to this day!
