As far as I know for this on Thinkpad, there's a problem with your firmware and try to take a boot firmware from another laptop T430. Reflash it, and let's see if it works. If it not works, then by all mean, there's something wrong in the CPU. Try to change it, and if its not work again, change the motherboard.

Fennec on F-droid is good, at least for my need to surfing safe website.
something strong enough to be a stable link in my entire network; if that makes sense. Because I have many plans for things I want to learn about and add to my network or system down the road.
You need to check out Fedora Podcast EP: Getting Fedora with your Lenovo. For the first time they take laptop compatibility with Fedora Linux ecosystem seriously and announce it with such a deep detail on how they do that.
how am I supposed to know which machines are better or even “compatible” with Linux? like all linux distros or flavors?
I think Thinkpad line seems to be your right choice. Not for all linux distros, but at least Thinkpad has used by many developers in the world, so probably more compatible than other laptop brand IMO.
My x200s as daily driver still the king for scraping loath of information!
Yeah, this is very complex idea and also at the same time, I think IF open source community can handle or focus on privacy and security to the max that even Quantum Encryption can't break it (again, from our community first rather than come from military standard or big corporations), we can create FOSSicon Valley in reality. Of course there's a pros and cons bout this, but I think if we think about it together, then the problem would be solved by the nature of open source itself. This is imho from optimistic POV for this topic..
I never predict Signal will implement this QuanResist really fast pace than other messenger apps. Applause to the dev team!
Supporting open-source digital environment and resist to big corporate's monopoly.
People love to call ours a Christian country, and they’re making a very strong case for atheism in the process.
And the moral progress is getting more and more inhuman like China. Anddd.. the world seeing this as a gold standard right now, I understand what your feeling after watching Adam Curtis Documentary, very wide view movies I ever watch so far..
what does Linux have that I need?
- Better interface than Windows (KDE WM)
- Stable and noo downtime internet speed like Windows because background update, can increase your internet speed to 40% (can up to 80% in my case with Q4OS + pure profile installation)
- Customizable interface according to your preference (with learning curve first)
- As a home desktop, there's so many useful apps from Linux (Recoll for example) that you can't find on Windows
- Very lightweight and power save (according with the linux you use)
What can motivate me to migrate?
IMO when you migrate to Linux, you can learn many things that you never think about before and it give you the easiest solution for daily life. From piracy, privacy, ideology, and deep tinkering other things that you can't do on Windows (Coreboot / Libreboot, or HAM Radio hack for example).
What is a good Linux to have for a desktop + steam?
Pop! OS is the best choice you have. But if you want to create home desktop for your family using it, I recommended Q4OS with Pure Profile installation, just install Firefox + Ublock Origin and you can go perfectly good..
Thinkpad x200s (2009) with Core2Duo SL9400, 2gb RAM, 128gb SSD + AntiX Linux with herbsluftwm.
Firefox will not perform smooth here, but very usable. I watch youtube video from Yewtube on Terminal + mpv, browsing only on Lemmy, news on Newsboat RSS feed, Palemoon if some news sources are heavy, and download with wget.
IMO if you experiencing problem on Firefox with that spec, I think there's a problem with your Operation System or your OS is very hungry power. I recommended using Q4OS linux with pure profile installation for minimalist system out of the box in KDE environment. The performance are very good on my Thinkpad x260..
You can check the hardware compatibility list in here. The level support begin with Ships Fedora, Supports Fedora, and Fedora Friendly.
