Always wipe and do a fresh install. If you’re installing Linux, its unlikely that the refurbisher will have installed your flavour of Linux anyway. If you want to dual-boot with Windows, most business ThinkPads come with a Windows Pro licence - just download the ISO and install it fresh, then install Linux.
Refurbished ThinkPads are awesome!

You’re right! We need more cowbell Debian. I’ve got a fever and the only prescription is Debian!
My phone was updated via the Play Store to 0.0.35 about 18 hours ago.
I have no idea if it’s forced staged rollouts or if it’s just the lag syncing new apps across goggle’s servers globally, but it always seems to take 2-3 days for everyone to get a new update for any app in Google Play.
I’m currently using a T580 (i5-8350U). The refurb model cost me $440CAD. It has a 15.6" screen, backlit keyboard, came with a 512GB NVMe drive and 16GB of RAM. It charges with a 65 watt USB-C cable. It also has dual batteries (one is internal, the other is hot-swappable) and together give me 10-14 hours.
I’ve been using it for 8 months now and its been absolutely fantastic and no laggy performance or thermal issues. Zero driver issues on install. I run Debian/XFCE.
I think that /u/spez has his back against the wall. Reddit loses money - a lot of money - and there’s noone left to foot the bill. He’s tried everything: he’s tried advertising, sponsored content, and he’s tried premium memberships (and don’t forget coins!), but all this is simply a drop in the bucket. At this point, if nothing is done, Reddit will likely have to shut down - it probably has 8-14 months left.
Honestly, I think that /u/spez has given up; he sees that Reddit as it was originally envisioned is dead. So, he’s decided to make some superficial changes to polish it up and make it appealing to investors, make an IPO, and then cash out what he can out of it and leave.
Funding, even in a not-for-profit sense, will always be an issue. Wikipedia struggles, but kinda makes it work. We’re going to need something creative for the fediverse…

Although, TBH, I was farking and SA-ing at the same time. Something Awful in its prime was incredible.
