linux

...linux?

yes! exactly! i use linux everyday for school and for fun. currently, i am running arch linux (i use archinstall, i'm not thatweird) and hyprland to make this super cool setup that essentially allows me to change anything i want about the system. or at least that's the idea. right now i'm still in the learning stage because i still can't figure out file app associations, volume and brightness change notifications, or how to write little scripts to do things for me / give extra functionality to buttons.

i may update this page on some later day if i update my linux rice and want to show off but that day is not today!

theming in linux is definitely a big ask for me, or i should rephrase. qt5/qt6 and custom themes are a big ask for me, mostly because kde apps use some special color format that i don't understand. i don't remember what witchcraft i used to get color schemes on my terminal, but i think i used pywal and maybe some other program.

my workflow in linux is much faster than on my windows partition. it could just be me, but there is the reasoning that windows 11 just... doesn't run that well on my laptop. i'd take linux over windows pretty much any day just because of the lighter footprint and increased customizability it gives me. oh and also it lets me flex on my friends who could not care less.

i have a confession though. i only use my windows partition for roblox... yerp.
