    Just threw Zorin on my secondhand x220, but been using the Thinkpad as a low end test bench so that may change. Runs surprisingly well, although I do need a new battery soon (“dies” at ~40%).

      That’s the big clincher with laptops. The dang funky-shaped terminal-soldered batteries. Argh.

      I just put Mint on my X230, it even has one of those nicer big capacity batteries! But it definitely doesn’t last like it.

      I wish there were better ways to fit newer battery arrangements into these discontinued proprietary slots without risking the fakes market. 😬
