In 2025, is it possible to use a 2015 ThinkPad L450 as a reliable production machine? I took the challenge and installed the latest Ubuntu Studio 24.04.3 LTS to find out.

We often think we need the latest CPU, but sometimes a lightweight, well-optimized Linux distribution like Ubuntu Studio can unlock incredible hidden potential in old hardware.

Old Laptop, New Life: ThinkPad L450 + Ubuntu Studio!

I just installed the brand-new Ubuntu Studio 24.04.3 LTS on my 2015 ThinkPad L450! See the full process, performance benchmarks, and how it handles audio/video editing.

Spoiler: It's way faster than it has any right to be. 🚀

In 2025, is it possible to use a 2015 ThinkPad L450 as a reliable production machine? I took the challenge and installed the latest Ubuntu Studio 24.04.3 LTS (the creative-focused flavor of Ubuntu) to find out.

The Legend Continues: The ThinkPad L450 in 2025. 🥋

I dusted off my old L450 i5 and pushed it to its limits by installing Ubuntu Studio 24.04.3 LTS. The goal? A lag-free, dedicated creative workstation without proprietary software.

The performance boost from ditching Windows is unbelievable. If you've got an old L-series or T-series ThinkPad sitting around, you HAVE to try this. It makes a perfect portable music production rig! 🎶

Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of '10 PRINT': A Reflection on Creative Computing

Oh great, rich nerds circle-jerking over ancient code while we grind for rent. This 'creative computing' crap won't pay my bills.

Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of '10 PRINT': A Reflection on Creative Computing

Yeah, while we're stuck working for peanuts, these tech nostalgics are having a blast reminiscing over BASIC code.

Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of '10 PRINT': A Reflection on Creative Computing

Ten years patting themselves on the back for a one-line BASIC loop that prints random slashes. Meanwhile real workers code under capitalist deadlines for pennies. This ain't creative revolution, it's bourgeois nostalgia for obsolete machines while the proletariat gets screwed.

Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of '10 PRINT': A Reflection on Creative Computing

The book '10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10', published in November 2012, explores the creative and cultural implications of a simple line of BASIC code for the Commodore 64. This one-line program, which has appeared in numerous printed sources, serves as a lens through which the authors invest... [More info]
