Here i want to write about computers i own, or used to own in the past.
Computers, in this case, means basically everything that can compute, even smaller/more basic devices, not just personal computers, laptops and servers.
The Thinkpad 600x is a laptop computer, introduced in late 1999, by IBM. It came equiped with some variant of the Intel Mobile Pentium III Processor and 64MB of Memory by default, it had a Neomagic MagicGraph256ZX GPU that fed a 1024x768 Screen.

My current daily driver, I have the variant with a Intel Core i5-8265U and 16GB of Memory. I would describe it as: "not too bad, but the cooling is less performant than it would need to be for it to be considered a good laptop". I have been running Arch Linux with Sway on it for the last few Months and I have been fairly happy with that setup.
My current smartphone, i bought it in 2020. I used to run LineageOS with Google-apps on it, but since the summer of 2021 i run LineagOS microg on it and i havent yet had any issues with my usage.
A KaiOS driven "smart feature phone" by HMD-Global that i got used in February of 2021, it currently has GerdaOS on it. I seem to have broken WIFI/Bluetooth at some point when disassembling and reassembling it. I would like to play with it some more, maybe try my hand at writing a few apps for it. Considering where we are here, a gemini client might be an interesting project.
GerdaOS, a custom ROM for KaiOS devices, seemed a bit stagnant the last time i looked.

My first proper smartphone, and probably the gadget i own for the longest time, having been in my possession since 2014. I have made a postmarketOS port for it, but that is in a bit of a sorry state, since some changes outside of my control broke weston, or possibly all graphics.
