  • Awesome and impressive advice, thanks a lot!

    I’ve actually managed to find a used Carbon X1 Gen 6 (i5-8250U, 16GB, 512) for 310usd so I reordered that instead. I assume the course of action won’t really change in this case.

    And I’m not too familiar with some of that stuff, do you mind if I ask you the following:

    1. Where can I see if Bios is locked?

    2. Best way to boot into a Linux environment with a USB? Where can I get a Linux distribution that would work seamlessly from a thumb drive?

    3. Is there a testing app for the microphone (it’s important for me) and the ports?

    4. And what’s the fastest way to see the battery health?

    5. How to install ‘stress’? And how can I watch “/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp”?
