I searched the forum but didn't post for help. It hasn't been a huge deal honestly, but this week I ran into FTP and SMB problems and thought I should try something.
5 is the previous (and I think unsupported) version. I had big plans for software upgrades but life happened really hard and just kept happening.
I'm replying from my T480 that I really love. I put Fedora on it and never have any issues. Biggest downsides in my opinion are bad speakers and display brightness doesn't go very high (hard to work on it outside, for instance). Otherwise, super easy to upgrade and cheap to get parts for. Grabbed a big battery off Amazon and it lasts all day for me.
Dang, I'm in the same boat. Botox injections have started helping, but there's usually several weeks at a time where every day I have migraines. If I didn't have to help with kids and family, I'd probably just be in bed half the day. But, as you said, you just get used to it.
I am fairly certain the same could be said for someone experiencing a mental health crisis without access to firearms.
