“Computing-wise that three week vacation turned out
to be very relaxing. Machine would suspend and resume
without problem, WiFi just worked, audio did not stop
working, I spent three weeks without having to
recompile the kernel to adjust this or that, nor fighting
the video drivers, or deal with the bizarre and random
speed degradation that my ThinkPad suffered.”
