  • Have you ever held a magnet up to them? They might just be aluminum coated to prevent what’s shown in the image.

    There are a few manufacturers that make magnetic case fan filters and such, that wouldn’t make sense if most cases were full aluminum.

    Maybe you still had aluminum cases, but then they were probably also rather expensive, because it’s more difficult to manufacture in that thickness without being brittle.




  • What do you mean by “support”? Flatpak is in the official repository and has been for a while.

    You may also consider the backports repository for common software such as office and maybe your DE/tools.

    Otherwise, I’ve used a T60 with Libreboot myself for years and it still worked fine for general purpose stuff, but then the CCFL display lighting went dead. It’s not TFT, unfortunately, so they don’t last as long.
