Can't wait to write that full blog post before bed as to why I didn't succeed at installing Gentoo and related topics tonight. I will impart more of my personality in these posts, in an effort to not write so stiffly.

That won't take long, I'll even condense the aftermath in its own little post. As, this has taught me for the moment that Garuda Linux is my permanent home until I can find a systemd free distro that is as breezy easy to install and manage. Along with a great package repo that I don't need to compromise too much on. I got so used to the ChaoticAUR. Need to relearn the art of install via scripts. KaOS uses KCP, which is basically their version of the AUR.

Now, I am getting into actual Strings, as there is a "include <string.h>" header file that has functions used to manipulate strings using the C programming language! What I am learning is very basic at first.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
char alphabet[] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
printf("Length is: %zu\n", strlen(alphabet));
printf("Size is: %zu\n", sizeof(alphabet));
return 0;
}

The output is:
Length is: 26
Size is: 27

printf("Length is: %zu\n", strlen(alphabet)); gives us the actual amount of characters within the string.

printf("Size is: %zu\n", sizeof(alphabet)); will actually give us the memory size in bytes rather than the actual string length. Which is an interesting feature. As if I changed: char alphabet[] to char alphabet[50] , it would print 50. Very weird stuff, kinda cool.

Could be useful in the future, perhaps!

I am making up for not really studying much yesterday because of being tired. So hopefully I will complete two lessons today!

After being up for nearly 20hrs Tuesday into Wednesday, I am back on that sleepless bullshit again. Ended up reinstalling Garuda Sway because EndeavourOS has some poor repos in terms of software. A shame, as it was fairly performant. At least I won and was able to install it on something.

Found a solution for the Foot depreciated message. It was so obvious but my brain couldn't parse config files months ago. Now, I've found where I need to make the change!

It's silly what a few months of practice with config files will do and open your brain to understanding them better!

Better commit that change ASAP before I forget, as I like how lean foot terminal is.

Got EndeavourOS installed on my laptop and named it with the most appropriate of names. I put it aside for now because I've touched computers for so long today. I need food (I snacked a little).

It is nice, because I have to engage with Arch a little bit more. Some of the convenience features are borked so I used the terminal to begin the set-up process. I installed some basics.

Their interpretation of Sway is absolutely pretty to look at. It works smoothly and uses very little in the way of CPU/RAM. Can't wait to get that bad boy set-up fully.

After dishes, delights and horrors beyond my comprehension await me...I will be installing Gentoo. I need a good distraction today because work was a lot and overwhelmed me. I need a boss battle task to exorcise this strange ass mental energy that will doing my head in for hours.

Likely, I will not sleep well or no more than 2 hours anyway. So with luck, I have Gentoo installed and ready for the next phase by the time a brief slumber takes me.

Two new people on one shift is fine, pair that with the incompetent and weird customers we get...Its a curse of epic proportions. I want to drown my sorrows in coffee, but then I'd be up all night after work. Monday wins this time. I will meditate and stay sane.
