My Thinkpad Carbon X1 G6 has a touchscreen!

November 21, 2024 — Nico Cartron

I recently moved my FreeBSD personal laptop to a much lighter and snappier one: a Lenovo Carbon X1 G6.

It's no longer produced as it's from circa 2018 but all the articles I read about it confirmed that FreeBSD support was great on that device - and I can validate that.

One thing I hadn't realised when I decided to go for this one: IT HAS A TOUCHSCREEN!

Not that I was especially looking for it, nor will I use it daily, but I litteraly discovered it the other day by mistake: I was writing another blog article, and when thinking about a sentence, I inadvertently touched the screen, and the terminal "lit up" (as in: I had selected text).
I confirmed this by selecting a window bar and moving that window around.

Wow. Again, I'm not quite sure yet whether I'll be using that feature a lot, but I believe it can be handy in some cases!
