Currently exploring Origami Linux. Bootc, Fedora Atomic, Cosmic, Cachy LTO kernel. Included tooling is all Rust based, even my friend Yazi is there. Very nice! Shoutout to @distrotube@fosstodon.org for pointing me to this distro.

As a non-dev I really enjoy the strictness of code. And the strictness of reading error-messages. Miss a comma or a curly bracket and you're reminded of your shortcomings. The ah-yes-of-course moment. Come across that with my nixos-rebuild and the dwm make. Loving it. As long as I can solve it 🤣

Getting there! Updated and patched to dwm 6.8, on Void. And since spring is coming I decided to go for that good ol' murky foliage kind of stuff 😜

That's when it all started to happen, 4 years ago! OpenBox on ArchLabs, the standout distro that kicked my Linux journey into a higher gear 🍻 Started out with it around 2020,21 but I found this scrot. Epic.

Total distraction. Per usual. But at least that work laptop has Slackware Current with mangowc and sway all running great and smooth. Add noctalia for some bling (although it costs me an extra 300mb of ram compared to waybar...) and that's good to go. VoidLinux and dwm tomorrow then, with a little help of Bakkeby? Yup 👍🏻
As long as I don't get distracted again 🤣

VoidLinux to the rescue.
Obviously that LUKS, dracut and bin kernel was a glorious PITA on Gentoo.
But..... VoidLinux has everything I want, a tutorial that actually worked was found quickly and now dwm 6.8, st and dmenu all compiled gloriously. Let the patching begin. Remember, this time I wanted to start from zero, Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow 🤣 so this will have to wait to later in the week. But this feels very appropriate for the ThinkPad. Beer time 🍻 on a job well done 😆

A couple of days in the countryside of Vietnam has a refreshing effect on screentime. Family, friends, eating all the time and sufficient boredom.
I'm seriously considering winding down to this rhythm. Can assure you all our digi-stuff is essentially totally unimportant. No laptops seen here, and 8 year old smartphones are sufficient to do anything.

05::55 Saigon. The days just before Tet (our Lunar New Year) are my favorite ones. Streets empty out, everyone is happy to celebrate. On to the coffee ☕

Suddenly dwm is updated twice within a very short timeframe (months that is, not the usual years).
What is the world coming to?
