X131e (Arch) 2019

Welcome to the CF that will be me trying to be like the rest of you and not be a faker pleb. Watch me be unable to do simple installs, tasks, console command. Have a good laugh at my pure lack of knowledge for basic tasks, and may spam my DMs with hate on how incompetent I am!

Step one: Get my Thinkpad X131e in the mail

As you can see in the picture below the right bumper mount is broken… and they tried to tape it place lol

They took all the stickers off….. I don’t want to ask why, looks like it took a beating

“Xl3le 2 Specs” CPU: AMD 1.3GHZ Dual Core RAM: 2x2GB DDR3 STORAGE: 320GB Spinning Rust OS:Windows

Step two: Pick the flavor of Manjaro I want to use, thinking KDE

Step two and one twenty-fifth: Blue team bad, Red Team good Chrome was being unreasonable, thankfully second X131e had windows on it and got into the boot select no problem. Also it has an AMD chip in it, so therefore better.

Step two and ten thirty-second: Install

Step two and five eighteenth: Break the install by installing things I barley understand and needing to start anew

Step two and five nineteenth: Wipe it all and install Archlabs

Step two and nine nineteenth: Rice it out with LARBS and start learning

Step Four: Use and abuse as my daily driver for work

Back at it for about 30 mins today.

Still no idea whats up with the wifi, but I got a gigabit switch and hardwired that little baby in…aannnndddd

Boooom we live. Now it was slow as hell and lagging out but that maybe cuz it died soon after lol so shall see if its the laptop or the bloated abomination of a site.

Got some more ram in there, still on the spinning rust.

So to do:

Things I think could help:
