When I started my recent uxn project I was feeling really burned out by tech, and my personal laptop was a small part if that. I bought it three years ago, and while its a decent laptop on paper (Zenbook, 4k screen, 16gb ram, 1tb hdd, the usual stuff) I started to hate the thing. I had to send it in for screen repairs once and the battery now only lasts about 10 minutes before my system starts panicking, meaning its barely even portable now.
In the spirit of #uxn and reusing older tech I pulled out my "travel laptop" -- a 12 inch linux-compatible chromebook i got for less than $200 CAD in 2018. Disposable laptop in case it got seized or dropped while out of country.
It's a terrible laptop by modern standards. The screen is tiny, the keyboard is weird, the charger is some stupid custom tiny pinhole, no usb-c ports, 4gb ram, 32gb storage, and takes 30+ seconds to boot firefox.
And you know what? I love it. I didn't at first, but what do you even need for coding? Vim and a terminal and some documentation is plenty. Don't even need internet most of the time if you have the uxn docs downloaded!
Now this little guy is my daily driver. It's not logged into a single account I own (I still have a cellphone for that). It's simple and small and peaceful computer-ing.
