Tomorrow I think I’ll install on my NUC, and perhaps my T460s as well. Give it all a test drive before my Librem 14 or Librem 5 ship. I’ve run it Live, but my go-to Live distro is

@ajmartinez The main challenge may be if those devices have hardware that requires proprietary drivers (wifi or nic in particular) as PureOS only contains free software.

@kyle WiFi won’t work on either, but wired should. I assume I just need to touch my apt sources lists with the taint of non-free to get them to work as I would in Debian? For the NUC it doesn’t matter as that’ll always be wired. I could go Qubes again on the T460s since Wayland has already broken everything I gained when I stopped using Qubes to begin with 😂

@ajmartinez Yeah, in the case that you would need a proprietary driver, you could pull it from *Debian* non-free (PureOS doesn't have a non-free repo) but it sounds like you will be fine for your NICs.

@kyle yeah, that’s what I expected. An unholy patchwork of apt magic hasn’t graced one of my machines since the FujiP5k, but then that was also one of my favorite machines of all time.
