I like Calyx and Gentoo. They've been nice to me.

I been playing nothing but daggerfall and morrowind

Whatever you know best. My personal choice of distro is Gentoo, my gaming pc and my carry laptop both run it. My games run great in gentoo, and because I understand it best, I deal with few issues. For a long time it was Arch, and before that Ubuntu. I used Ubuntu for only maybe 2 months before moving onto Arch then Gentoo. My games always worked, but once I really understood Linux, they ran great.

I agree with the other guy, the T440P is great. My top 3 are the T400, T440P, and T480.

T400 - great keyboard and form factor, but heavy
440P - LOTS of ports, easily fixable, last one with replaceable cpu
T480 - very lightweight and thin, good modern cpu, usb c fast charging.

Pretty much any thinkpad is a good go. Age doesn't really matter either. I've got a T23 from 2001 that's running fresh and good. I'd say maybe 2012 is as far back as you might want to go for regular use though.

I love my steam deck, I also just got it like 2 months ago. If I knew this was coming, I might've waited. Either way, my girlfriend is probably going to get a cool hand me down in the next couple months.

It's not even the toothpaste, but the brush itself that bothers me. Same thing happens when I get throat swabs by the doctor, throw up a decent amount of the time from it. Pretty much anything touching my tongue or throat makes me puke.

My gag reflex starts at my teeth. To answer for real though, I can't brush my tongue. Things touching my tongue, aside from food, makes me gag very hard. I'd never make it in Miami.

My gamer laptop died, and I tend to spend a good amount of time out the house. Getting a steamdeck for like 350$ (sale) and packing one of my 15 thinkpads made more sense to me. Overall, spending about 450$ on everything instead of 1200$ for another computer that requires me to basically set up a full desktop to use it. It's great being able to just pull out the deck and get at it. It's not the best way to play games, but it's pretty nice for when I'm not home.

Do you love me? Could you learn to love me?

My girlfriend says she knows when I'm ready for bed or going to work based on if she can hear me trying not to throw up in the bathroom while brushing my teeth.

The way my doctor put it is basically, I most likely will never need to be under care for it. So, he was not going to put it on paper unless I wanted it. He said I am autistic and I am diagnosed, just not on paper. So, do you think you'll ever need special care for it? If yes, then maybe consider getting it on paper.
