i'm too tired to write a whole proper thing about this, don't you agree... everything is so exhausting nowadays but not too exhausting, or else i wouldn't have been able to clean my computer desk finally like i did a few days ago or install endeavouros like i also did a few days ago... (is it weeks by now???)
i'm going with endeavour rather than arch out of an abundance of caution (see linux beginnings paragraph 6 for my thoughts on trusting myself with the command line...), though i have performed an arch command line installation via a virtual machine, and the only issues i encountered were virtual machine related so... i basically did it right? :3
in any event, i'll definitely install arch on real hardware at some point, even if that hardware isn't my main machine... i thought maybe the laptop i'm getting to do a windows dualboot with could be used for that purpose, i'll see how i feel about it
i've been fucking around with wayland too, it runs so well it makes me wanna cry over the fact i have an nvidia card so compatibility isn't perfect. but it works so good that i'm willing to set its problems aside and use it anyway, gosh is it fast, i cant wait for it to be supported enough to become standard
i think every time i install KDE plasma i'm just gonna keep rediscovering my love of it. its so fun to customize every time, and i love to be able to have an operating system feel truly my own... using an installation as barebones as endeavour adds to this feeling a lot too, a bunch of the problems i had in my mint install are things i was able to avoid this time around (*glares at pulseaudio*) thanks to the total freedom of it all, it really is wonderful
the last month of the year is already here and my adulthood approaches faster than i can imagine... i have to wonder at this point... have i done enough....?
i look back at my linux install and look at my peers who only know how to operate a smartphone. yes. yes i have
