I think, after one year, it is time for a short update on my to-undo-list:

[X] Twitter/X --> Mastodon
[X] Facebook --> none (don't need one)
[X] Instagram --> Pixelfed
[X] Reddit --> none (don't need one)
[X] Windows --> Linux
[X] WhatsApp --> Signal/Threema/Matrix
[X] Amazon --> nearly every other online shop
[ ] Google (regarding Android)
[X] PayPal (not deleted, but reduced to 1%)

Tomorrow I will start the migration to #GrapheneOS
If succesful it will conclude a 3 year journey of #SelfLiberation for me.

I don’t think there’s any other way to describe what I’m going through - between #HeatedRivalry (thru ep 4) and #MerrilyWeRollAlong - but:

serious
existential
crisis

#SexAndLoveAndLackThereof #NeverLookBack

So Mary falls in love with Frank and can’t find anyone else? She’s just going to be a martyr while Charley and Beth keep popping out kids? #NeverLookBack #MerrilyWeRollAlong #AllTheThingsSheSaid #HeatedMerrily

Just noticed that it is over a year now that I switched to Linux only. I can't remember the point in time when it felt more natural not using Windows than using it. But I can confirm it happend somewhere on that line. And despite the fact that I used Linux as secondary system for a long time before "The Switch" it still feels like a catharsis.

I decided that my health meant way more to me than a 💼 job, so I sent in a 📃 resignation letter and never looked back.

@FrankBlack78 how about Pop!_OS? I used the crap out of that until I didn’t have time to play video games any more. Stable, latest drivers for hardware, and useful customizations all over. #popos #linux #NeverLookBack

Week N of my Linux-only journey.

I am pretty happy with the Debian-notebook. No issues there.

But I am not sure if I will stay with Garuda on my gaming notebook. Maybe I am not an Arch-guy. Everything seems pretty unstable sometimes with that rolling-release-thing. Find myself too often tinkering things and not doing what I was intending to do.

Maybe I will take a look at Nobara in the future.

Week 3 of my Linux-only journey led me down some rabbit holes that were not even related to Linux explicitly but implicitly.

As I emerged out of the rabbit hole again I deleted remaining "social" media apps like Instagram and Reddit replacing them with Pixelfed, Lemmy and Matrix. Thanks to our friendly admin @milan I am able to use all this services for free what is awesome by itself.

I am delving deeper into the community, ready to meet new and awesome people.

Week 2 of my journey using Linux as my main OS of choice without a MS Windows fallback solution is now done and dusted.

I stumbled over some minor calamities all based in using Garuda which is an Arch based distro with which I don't have much experience with.

Things are normalizing pretty quickly. I recognize that my love for "tech things" in general is coming back slowly. The desire to figure things out. Just having fun again using it.

This is the way.
