While I am waiting for CloneZilla to verify an image, I may as well post a note. It was a decent day. I sold and delivered two refurbished ThinkPad laptops. Local sales. Both people chose Windows, not Linux. Right now I am upgrading a ThinkPad T420 of a long time customer. Still a good laptop, if a person's needs are not too demanding. Upgraded from 4GB 10600 to 16GB of PC3L 12800. Converted Windows 10 from MBR to GPT partition scheme. Fixed Windows errors with sfc (System File Checker). Now backing everything up with a CloneZilla image before I attempt to upgrade to Windows 11. That way, if something major goes wrong, I can restore it to how it was. #ThinkPad #Windows #clonezilla

Windows basically wouldn't function on the original 4GB memory, especially Win 11.. ..so resource intensive

Agreed. Windows 11 will technically work with only 4GB of memory, but you can only have one or two programs open at a time and large web apps will be close to unusable. So quadrupling the memory was a good thing to do. I wouldn't have upgraded to Windows 11 if the customer hadn't agreed to the memory upgrade. Speaking of resource intensive... i3wm is the opposite of that. I am enjoying it on my ThinkPad X270. I have to familiarize myself with it more. Sound is broken. I think the script didn't play well with Devuan. I should be able to fix it myself when I dedicate some time to it.

these commands could be helpful too.. sed -i 's/systemctl/loginctl/g' $HOME/.config/i3/laptop.conf sed -i 's/systemctl/loginctl/g' $HOME/.local/bin/rofi-power.sh sed -i 's/systemctl/loginctl/g' $HOME/.local/bin/stay-awake.sh sed -i 's/systemctl/loginctl/g' $HOME/.bashrc ..run as user (not as root), then reboot

Thank you. Those apt commands fixed the sound. I'll try the sed commands later.

if you need to set the default mute and a default volume level.. ..add these two lines to the `$HOME/.config/i3/config` file.. exec --no-startup-id sleep 1 && pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ false && $refresh_i3status exec --no-startup-id sleep 6 && pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ 15% && $refresh_i3status

i went ahead and made these changes into a script.. ..you won't need this script now, but it might be helpful for future installs.. https://github.com/e33io/scripts/blob/main/mod-debian-to-devuan.sh
