Sometimes I shutdown the laptop instead of hibernate just to see this screen next time I open it. 😅

#gnu #guix #thinkpad

@jeko How do you like #guix on a ThinkPad? I'm guessing that the model is a X220.

@retroedgetech
It's a x200 ! Bought on eBay couple of years ago.
This one does not have a wifi card supported by Linux-Libre (I should have be more careful). But I plan to buy one soon. Otherwise it's all good. I can run GNOME so it provides everything I am used to.

@jeko @retroedgetech My wifi card isn't either but it's pretty easy to use the non-free kernel. You can just copy and paste it to the beginning of your system.scm and change the kernel.

I'm all for the libre thing but heh wifi blobs are wifi blobs and there aren't any truly blob free wifi cards that I'm aware of (although there are some that have a small arm processor with open source linux firmware between the blobbed wifi card and your main computer.)

@swiley
Yeah I use the non-free kernel for the moment. I agree to say it was pretty simple to configure thanks to clear instructions.

Some Thinkpads are assembled with an atheros wifi card which seems to be well supported by Linux-Libre
