    I am setting up an old Thinkpad x200 (8gigs of RAM, SSD, new 9-cell battery) as my cyberdeck. What Unix distro would you recommend? I am leaning towards Debian + i3m or Void Linux.

    The community around Void is still pretty small, so it's possible you'll have issues with hardware support on an older laptop like that.

    ...42? -- 7 and a half million years and all you can come up with is 42?!
