Linux

I’m typing this in NeoVim on the Framework running Fedora/Gnome. Earlier today, I fired up the Mac Mini and thought, “Man, this is how I want to do computing.” This, in direct opposition to how I’ve felt about it for the past few months. As part of the new year, I’d “decided” that I was putting the Linux experiment on hold indefinitely. I’d fired up Tinderbox for blogging at daily.baty.net as part of my new move back to macOS.

My first serious foray into Linux was driven by how deeply I fell immediately in love with Omarchy. Omarchy made me realize that I could totally live in Linux. If I wanted to.

I’m trying. I really am.

TL;DR It’s a love/hate thing, with love in the lead.

i run arch btw

Remember that time I was trying Linux “for real” and even created a blog to write about it? It was more an excuse to play with the clever BSSG blogging engine, but still.

I upgraded PHP to v8.3 (from 8.2) today on the server running baty.net. I don’t pretend to be an Ubuntu sysadmin, so I’m writing it down, just in case.

New t-shirt is funny. I’ve been shopping for desktop computers to run Linux. Something easy and nice, like a low-mid range Thelios, maybe. This is a terrible idea and I should stop doing it at once.
