This is a small, light laptop with great battery life that I carry around. Almost everything works, but I had to fight the Bluetooth to get it going. I was pulling my hair out for a minute.
I’d love to find a small, light laptop with great battery life, what kind of system is it?
It would be handy (imo) if folks posted what kind of system they’re posting the specs of.

Currently running Mate on a little Thinkpad 11e as you can see. I initially had some trouble with the kernel bug that causes random total freezes on Bay Trail processors, but the max cstate = 1 workaround described here stopped that. I believe this issue should not affect the current generation of 11e, since they aren’t using Bay Trail chips. With UM, the little computer runs fast enough for all my daily tasks—writing, web browsing, and programming.
So, yeah, it’s a cheap student laptop, but it gets a lot of work done. You don’t need a whale of a computer to have a very useful little Linux machine!

I just got this old server really cheap and I figured I’d see what I could do with it. I’m figuring maybe a central video repository / movie downloader. Dual quad core processors, dual NICs and a 750 GB HDD in a RAID 5 configuration. I loaded Ubuntu server and then overlaid the Mate desktop.

This is my current desktop/workstation. I mainly use it for blogging, browsing, Netflix, etc. Occasionally I edit video, audio, and or photos for my various projects. Everything runs perfectly, the only thing I have an issue with is Compiz doesn’t display my preferred theme correctly so I’m on Marco for now.

Normally I build all my machines from scratch, but this one was too cheap to pass up. Since I have bad arthritis in both hands my current keyboard is an ancient MS Office keyboard - the left side scroll wheel is heavenly. Mouse is a Logitech MX518. I have browser scrolling and mouse pointer set fast so I don’t have to move my hands much.
My current NAS is a simple 4TB Segate Central, phone is a rooted first gen Droid Turbo, and I’ve got a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 and Amazon Fire 7 that I use mainly for reading - I’m a voracious reader.
House is wired for gigabit ethernet going to a Netgear switch and a Ubee modem, and most of the wireless stuff still connects via a WRT54G Linksys running Tomato firmware. Yeah, it’s old but it’s rock solid. I’m eyeing the new WRT32000ACM but waiting for more of the third party firmware bugs to be worked out before I make that leap.
The rest of the house is filled with other devices - my brother is an avid gamer, we have several Echo Dots, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, etc. I can’t keep track of all the stuff to be honest.
I’ve been an Ubuntu user since 7.04, then I went to 8.04 and finally Ubuntu Studio 10.04 which I held onto for ages. I was thrilled when Ubuntu MATE 14.04 came out. I only made the change to 16.04 a few days ago and ditched dual booting with Windows for good.

Update on the Yamaha Reface keyboard:
Unfortunately the firmware cannot be updated via WINE. The updater will run and nothing will break, but the update process will not successfully complete, leaving you with the previous firmware state.
Also, Soundmondo apparently only detects a Reface keyboard (the Sync indicator lights up in green), but not which one, since patch download does not work (the button remains inactive).

Problems:
Was running the 18.04 Beta 1 version but had problem with Nouveau driver crashing the system. No additional drivers were available in 18.04 b1 so down graded…all good since. Hoping my current working driver is available in the final 18.04 release.
Version: Ubuntu Mate 17.10, no other OS.
Proprietary Drivers: Nvidia legacy binary driver version 304.137 with Nvidia Geforce 6150 SE
Performance = fast
No additional devices
Keeping it light for testing and quick reinstalls.

I picked up a new scanner: Canon LiDE 120, which according to https://sane.alioth.debian.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON should be fully supported.
However it turns out while it does work out of the box on 18.04 (on real hardware, tested with both of my PCs), the older driver in 16.04 has some known issues causing long delays before scanning starts and a completely black image, rendering it pretty much useless.
But that can be solved by a newer driver version: sane-git PPA to the rescue!
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rolfbensch/sane-git
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade
in case of conflicts run
$ sudo apt -f install
So now it works on the older version as well (tested on both of my PCs).
One oddity I noticed in Virtualbox though (I only tried 18.04) is that I have to physically unplug the scanner and plug it back again, then re-enable USB passthrough for it if I want to scan again after closing a scan application - no matter which one.
I can scan as many times as I want until the application is closed, but once I close it, it gets messed up somehow.
This may well be an issue with Virtualbox USB passthrough, as it does not happen on real hardware.
