Used both of these for years and years, no issues.
30y/o with chronic fibro here too, the OG deck is nice but thinking about getting the OLED because it's lighter, I use mine primarily for playing OSRS or Elden ring. Also lots of hockey!
Do you find it's too heavy for long periods of time?
I hope this comment is helping OP on his grammar, rsther than being picky...
Edit: Jeez saw your history, it's all corrections lol

Also 30, withering away, chronic incurable disease, disowned by family, homeless, broken shin, traumatised, living like Anne Frank. Hello from the otherside!
(Atleast the world is going to burn)
It's nice, low effort now it's setup! Just messing around with firewalling :)
MANGOHUD comes with steamOS so you just pass those flags to launcher options, it should work, if you want to see the HUD just remove ,nodisplay=0
It's a nice and clean Linux distro, Alpine is great for being lean and you can get around any portential glibc problems with flatpak/chroots/virtualisation if you don't mind, also aports (the build system) it's pretty straightforward. the package repositories are decent and flatpak does the rest I find.
I've run it as a general purpose fix-it drive for a long time but it's good for servers or routers, or decent enough on a laptop/desktop, it's more of a hands-on approach than most other distros so I'll find myself on the Gentoo or Arch wikis a bit of the time.
It has it's quirks like any distro but it's very nice once you're used to how it works, it generally avoids complexity. I like it in that regard.
Try using mangohud to cap it, I set it at 35fps cap running on high/med settings with something like MANGOHUD=1 MAHGOHUD_OPTIONS=fps_limit=35,nodisplay=0
Make sure to disable the steam frame limiter and allow tearing (helps with input).
Yeah, it's been quite a bit of guess work. Gtk/Kvantum themes are both Nordic-dark, then with the right gtk settings everywhere and compiling a few bits (cursors, Xsettingsd) and installing all the flatpak portals, with the right variables as well as all the Kvantum flatpak runtimes it works consistently across GTK/Qt/XWayland apps, including the cursor.
All my installed packages are also there under doc/apkovl. I installed my cursor/gtk themes to /usr/share as I compiled them but I'm sure they'd work in /home.
Thanks yep it was a btt of a pain getting uniform theming up between GTK, Kvantum and Xsettingsd it seems to work nice :)

Does it get slightly hot? The 16:10 was really nice on the X201!
Had quite a few of the X and T series, X200, X201, X220, X230, T430 mainly, x230 would be my pick, you can quad-core mod it with the classic keyboard and use ivyra1n to flash the bios easily. I haven't bothered with the Full-HD mod because the 720p IPS is fine to me, you can get them from Taobao or similar (Check sources!)
They're all socketed CPUs, or you could get the chonky T530/W530 instead, or a P series. Old Thinkpads last a long time (although I have a bad habit of testing them :)
EDIT: MY T430 was also a fucking tank, it survived being thrown across a room in San Franciso with a tiny dent on the lid, no damage. They're easier to Full-HD mod than the X series.
Yep I was trying to remember, it's been a long time since I used it!
