From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

nothing haha just left the bad 16gb stick in there because it mostly works. It's hard to diagnose it as I use it for work 24/7.... mayb I need another Thinkpad for when I diagnose the other
Very weird, ram sticks should work to the lowest freq if the soldered one is lower freq.
you already said in another comment something like "im too lazy to run memtest" i dont get it, why not just run the test and that will likely diagnose?
