:flan_hacker: For $REASONS, I took my (old) #Lenovo Ideapad S10 out of the box and installed :openbsd: #OpenBSD 7.9/i386 on it. Turns out... it installs and runs. But the only graphical Web browser I could use is Dillo; which can display DuckDuckGo but not Phanpy or my Bank User Portal. So I don't expect to go very far there. Also, even with hw.perfpolicy set to auto, the fan never stops blowing and making some annoying noise (although CPU is 40 degC).

Maybe I'll try some i386 Linux distro there to see what happens. Maybe it'll go back to its box until the Zombie Apocalypse and the need for 2W TDP CPU happen. Or until I need a 1024x600 10" tmux terminal... I could actually take it on the road where the P14 is too big and the iPhone is a bit too small...

And BTW, in case whatever, the dmesg is here https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/dmesgd?do=view&id=9039 :)

PS: While writing this post, the fan finally stopped blowing. Not sure why as temperature is still 40 degC. Anyway.
