Try to double your ram and if you don't have ssd, get one. Your cpu and gpu is powerful enough for light video editing. Also amd drivers are shipped in the Linux Kernel so you don't need to do anything for them.

Very useful tip for a linux newbie with a laptop which has only igpu.
You can now launch any installed app from the file manager.
Perfect choice for lot.
That's true. Nothing beats the 7-row. Luckily you can mod T480 with T25 keyboard if you can source the parts.
Thinkpad T480 is the last of the good Thinkpads and should be more than your Budget
Edit. Corrected typo.
Just curious. Did you replace the WSON-8 with SOIC-8?
Most likely doesn't matter. If you prefer to maximize charging speed then 90 watts but in theory it will worn out the battery slightly faster.
Have you librebooted your X200s?
Just wow. Hopefully it works with T430 too, since it has so much more cpu power with quad-core i7-3612qm and runs much cooler than the stock dual-core i5 ever ran.
Too bad I have no time or interest to tinker with these as much as I tinkered 5 years ago.
Imgaine if consumer electronics had only 28nm chips with long-lasting and superior quality software. Every laptop and smartphone would have at least 10 yeear lifespan.
Sounds like very poor management since everytime a business company switches system infrastructure, the end-users will receive courses. I was working in a factory which changed the automation system and every end-user spent 4+4 hrs in the lecture room and after 1 month of use they had again 4 hrs advanced use cases lecture.
After just 6 months every worker said the new system is easier and better, which first seemed to be impossible transfer.
Try Manjaro Sway. It is preconfigured and has many superior features built-in. The wallpaper contains the keybinds. When you learn to use that preconfigured Sway, you can try to build your own setup in a virtual machine and when you're satisfied, take the dotfiles into a usb stick or make the vm guest as your real Linux install.
