I don't really care about boot times, but as a tech guy 23 seconds sounds like an error to me and I want to find it and fix it :)

Also, old laptops with dieing batteries (or new ones with always-on sensors such as fingerprint readers) have some leakage during sleep so it may be better to turn them off if you are not going to use them for a few days.

edit: resume/suspend in linux works just fine and has done so for many years (in response to eltoozero)

I did that with 2009 thinkpad and it got much worse. I guess the cheap paste I used was worse than the 6 year old paste lenovo had used :(

What _did_ help was to take out the fan, clean it and then oil it carefully (too much oil or doing so without cleaning it first will only make things worse). You can also buy replacement fans, although original fans are quite expensive.

> ... I find the boot time compelling enough (~23sec until login, plus 2sec to open the browser) that I do not need this.

I think something is slowing down your boot, I get faster boot on a 2008 thinkpad running the same OS.

OT: systemd was supposed to improve boot performance but it has actually become much worse. Upstart on a weak chromebook boots in under 2 sec, why shouldn't your current generation thinkpad with a fast SSD match that?

Different people have different needs. This laptop despite its minor flaws was in the end the best option for his particular needs

...or as a HN user said a while back:

    tuananh 42 days ago | parent [-] | on: Why the MacBook Pro Is Limited to 16GB of RAM
    
    all of this largely depends on personal preference.
    
    to me, i value battery so much more.

Serious question: why is this on HN front page? Am I missing something?

I am sure it is a great laptop, but it also looks like a X1 with larger bezels. Why would you want that instead of X1?

It seems it is already available for appimage and snap:

    $ snap find krita
    Name   Version  Developer  Notes  Summary
    krita  3.1.1    krita      -      Krita: the free digital painting studio

For the record, the latest apt version on ubuntu is 2.9.7

Thank you, I was hoping to get an answer like this!

I also noticed that 3.1.1 is available on ubuntu snap. At this point I am not sure if I should go with snap or appimage. Either way, it is great to get packages directly from the developers!

I think the title should be "Designing as a web Developer".

There isn't really much in that post for you of you are not HTML guy.

OT: Krita and others are doing great things for content creators who want to use FOSS.

BUT most of their work is lost to us due to the way distros handle external software. If you install Krita, gimp, darktable in debian you will get really ancient versions (unless you use a PPA from a mostly unknown source, but even then you can get quite old versions).

Serious question: this is the third time a exploit of this kind is publicly revealed for this app. How comes we don't see a global hack outbreak?

I mean, script kiddies would love to break millions of phones. What has stopped them from doing that so far?

Despite the click-bait title this was actually a very good read.
