Purpose

Most of this is just notes for my own use, since I'm sure to reformat/reinstall at some point in the future and I don't want to have to rediscover everything I did the first time(s) around. It's kind of a guide to getting my entire env setup the way I like it. For those who aren't me and wanting to use this for your own X1 Carbon Gen7 setup, you can ignore some of the parts if you want, like vim and the IDE installations and openjdk and whatnot. I'd still install snapd and get fwupd from there though, if you want your fingerprint scanner to work at all.

This is basically the exact same for Ubuntu as well.

A Hacker's Ongoing Review for Lenovo ThinkPad X230

For Arch Linux Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ThinkPad_X230

Upate Aug 30, 2014 The machine died. Hopefully it enjoyed it short life!

Update: Aug 02, 2014 One early morning, the machine died after waking up from to cold unsuspend. It didn't start after then. Even couldn't get into POST. Power LED only lit for a second or two. Hard reset of 30 seconds also failed. Before declaring motherboard totally toasted, gave it a last try as suggested by our good ol' friend Pablo Stafforini. Took it a apart, unplugged battery and CMOS battery and let it sit for nearly 11 hours. It WORKED like a preposterous CPR supposedly to a machine! What a joke ;)
