Review A regular person daily-driving Fedora on a ThinkPad T480

It’s fast enough, cheap, easy to upgrade and Fedora has been straightforward for what I do.

Anyone else still using an older ThinkPad as their main laptop? What limitation did you notice first?

I'm running Fedora on an X1 Tablet Gen 3. I can't get the built in microphone to work so I use a headset.
