One of my big projects this past year was sprucing up my house. After my dad passed, I decided to take the estate funds and use them to update some things around the house that I let go by the wayside.
I started with the flowerbed that I let grow wild. I had a landscaper come in a gut everything and then had them kind of go nuts with the space. I love the results. The grass is still a work in progress but I already love the new look it has given my house.
Hello World!
It's only been a year and a half since my last post, but I figure it's never too late to try again.
I have been through some shit in this absence, but life is turning around (for me at least, the world is still very much on fire).
The world may be on fire right now, but I still want to find things to enjoy so I am going to use this platform to do just that.
I suppose a reintroduction is in order. I will write one up and post it later.
I have been using the Nubuntu Linux distro for a while now, and while I really like it, I think I'm going to be a bit more adventurous. The husband recently went in and compiled Gentoo and now I kind of want to see if I can pull that off. What could possibly go wrong?
I'm leaning towards using Mate or straight up Gnome though. I can't decide. Mate seems very customizable but Gnome is quite striking to look at. The "launcher" is a bit weird though.
Well I broke my Linux install. Which is fine as I was debating doing a fresh install after all the stuff I was doing. Guess I just forced my hand.
That said, I took a look at some Gnome stuff and part of me wants to try it because it's so weird compared to KDE. Decisions decisions.
Ok so I decided I was going to join the husband in swapping to Linux. I've used it, and took a class in college for it but had never given it a shot as my daily driver. Thought why not? Could be fun.
After about a week of learning things, and trying a handful of distros, I think I've got the hang of this. Went with Nobara and am pretty happy with it. These commands and whatnot are taking some time to learn and get used to, but I'm having a blast.
Consider me glad to be rid of Windows.
