Even though it'll probably make using the computer easier there was probably better things I could be spending my money on. I was just impulsive. I got back pay of a tax refund. I didnt do my taxes 4 four years since I was bouncing around hospitals and I'm a NEET, so I get tax refunds every year. Most of the reason I wanted to spend the money fast was because I was afraid it would get stolen from my bank account by my 1337 haxors. Yes I really do believe people hack my computer constantly. Not sure if there in my computer now. They might be, though who knows. I've gotten used to feeling like I'm being watched. They made their presence obvious at times.
Though anyways that wasnt the point. Well there is no point, my canine friend. My audience is dog. You must be dog reading this? Can dogs read? Far as I know they cant. Might as well be. Since dogs dont read and therefore dont read my blog. Well I sure hope not for the sake of their sanity.
Who knows I may enjoy my System76 laptop. I always wanted a totally open source computer. Though when I tried out Pop OS I didnt really like it. Though I guess I can get used to it. I'm just stuck in my ways. I like having a taskbar, that's partly why i preferred XFCE because it's sort of like a clone of the old Windows 9x UI in a lot of ways. Maybe the interface of Pop OS is more intuitive and i should just adapt. I'm going to run the OS that the system was actually designed for so I get the benefit of the features of the thing like the battery life and such.
I might even do more productive things with the laptop, as it has a CPU that is much more powerful than the one that's in my aging Thinkpad. The Lemur Pro I bought has 10 cores and 12 threads, while my Thinkpad has 2 cores and 4 threads. The single thread rating of the CPU in the new laptop is 3 times more powerful than the old CPU, if i recall correctly. I looked it up on passmark earlier.
I'm looking forward to it arriving. Maybe I'll get some work done. Sometimes my computer gets in the way it's so old. The Thinkpad chokes on editing 1080p video. I suppose it makes sense it's almost 10 years old.
Well on the bright side I'm probably going to save the rest of money in my savings account for a rainy day. That probably would be smart for various reasons. I later realized that my fears of my money being stolen so easy were unfounded.
