tech stuff

I have acquired a new laptop! My old one is a Dell Latitude 3340 that has a terribad keyboard and thinks every day should be talk like a pirate day (there are a few keys that are liable to produce anywhere from 1 to 3 letters when pressed; r is the most likely culprit). The new one is a refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T460 that I've yet to install a Linux on. The current laptop's hostname is Altair – should I call my new laptop Altair as well, or name it after a different IAU-approved star name? (For reference, my desktop is called Aldebaran and my phone Alrakis.)

(I think I'll see about any new year's sales and upgrading the desktop. The processor is from 2015 and I suspect the new laptop's just as powerful, if not more...)
