+First let us start with what I used until now for any Winlink session that
+I made (either at home or portable in the field/forest/mountain).
+
+## The old setup (on a linux box)
+
+I use a Lenovo X1 Carbon as my daily driver. It is quick enough and compact
+and I used it for a while now for hamradio stuff too. I never did FT8 or
+similar "messengers" on it though. In particular I did some winlink sessions
+using [Pat] in combination with [rigctld], [direwolf], the [AX.25 tools], [VARA] (HF and FM)
+and [ARDOPCF] (never got one connection from home).
