Today, I'll be attempting to revive this 16-year-old ThinkPad with Linux. In doing so, I'll try to answer the question: Have computers of this age entered a state of complete obsolescence, or can they still prove useful for everyday tasks when paired with the right operating system?
Thanks for watching!
Excellent Video by This Does Not Compute that discusses the ThinkPad X61 in-depth: youtube.com/watch?v=TUA7Ct9Sq8A&pp=ygUMdGhpbmtwYWQgeDYx
