This thing is a ThinkPad T61 i got recently few days ago
and ever since i got it i never stopped using it
because wow old tech!!1 so cool and awesome!11!!!!11!
on first day i got this Thinkpad i obiously tried linux but since well core 2 duo(or maybe ventoy drive was not happy)
So i decided to install Windows XP on this laptop as this laptop came with windows 10 when i got it
but ofcourse road is not allways straight and well i had to ditch ventoy and put raw .iso file directly on the drive because otherwise Windows XP Setup would crash with 0x7B stop error
after i fixed(by flashing .iso onto flashdrive AND putting sata controller into compatabily mode because windows xp does not has ahci drivers! yayy) that error i managed to enter the setup and then i had to reformat the drive from windows 10 that it came with but reformating damn drive took about 2 hours
after i reformated internal drive it has managed to copy needed file to the drive to get to second stage of installer
when setup said to remove A: they didnt mean to remove damn flashdrive you moron
anyways after my liiiittle mistake i have done, i was back on track
during setup noting really iteresting happend
and here we are we are done!
now we gotta get drivers for wifi,bluetooth,gpu and everything else(and even as im writing this on thinkpad i still didnt install everything yet)
i only really have picture from when i installed wifi drivers and before installing gpu drivers
after wifi install
before gpu install
but after i got few drivers that i needed its pretty much very usable and fast enogth for youtube at 720p60 and casual internet usage
only thing i dont like is that fn and ctrl are swaped for some reason
in meanwhile i rendered couple povray scenes and stuff
minecraft was ehhhhhh but it works but sadly no moded capabily because probably old java and 1gb of ram given to java because otherwise it would crash bc it cant allocate more ran for some reason
1.16.5 unmodded works though but 1.12.2 and 1.7.10 forge modded get stuck on last step
oh and almost forgot to mention that need for speed:most wanted works but i suck at the game lmao
id say its amazing laptop for its time! keyboard is wonderfull, display is amazing too, battery holds power for longer than my main linux laptor does somehow
