    Thanks, I don’t mind splashing some cash and it’s not THAT much, I’ll use it for years. Unfortunately stupid China requires Windows 11 Home with Copilot installed (puke) AI says Fedora or Ubuntu works well. After Spring Festival is over I’ll see about finding a local Lenovo dealer and wipe the preinstall out without even booting it and get them to install lee-nucks. As long as pinyin input works there isn’t really much Windows software other than Photoshop and Office I need. I gave up on Baidu netdisk after it installed video and photo viewing software without asking and reset my file associations to use their crap instead of VLC.

      Fedora Workstation with GNOME does pinyin input well.

      I really like my Thinkpad X1 Yoga because I like having a pen digitizer on a laptop, and it works very smoothly with Linux. Libreoffice works identically to how MSOffice used to work, which is better than how it works now.

      Cool. I wish you luck. With a local dealer maybe you can score a good deal on a refurb with hardware warranty still intact.

      I’m Fedora-curious and look forward to trying it out when I have more free time.
