I'm 1.5 for two on weekend conputer projects. Successfully installed Linux Mint on the ThinkPad and am now going through the irritating process of setting up the browser, typing overly long passwords, logging into various services, digging up Yubikeys, etc. I haven't gotten to setting up zsh and sorting out the terminal and expected applications. aptitude works mostly as expected but for some reason keeps trying to install i386 versions of packages instead of the expected x86_64 versions. I can defer solving that until getting the laptop backing up to the Synology. I mostly need LaTeX, VSCode, and a few dev tools. Even that may be building from source or third-party imports like VSCode and Beyond Compare.
The network KVM is on the network. I'm not sure it's KVMing but it's alive so I'll take that as a win.
