This is a neat little website blog sort of thing!
I definitely agree with you on your article of switching to Linux. I use Debian regularly, I switched from Windows a while ago, and I've never truly contemplated installing Windows for long term every day usage. Updates and installing new software are painless processes with apt, my setup only uses 400 mb of RAM on idle, my theming looks zany, etc. Linux is great!

I've only ever used Windows. As long as the programs open and work, then I'm a happy camper.

What do you think, should I switch back to Neocities full-time? I have to admit that a dedicated domain (and a dedicated server) for a website that only amounts to my own writing, I could easily scale it all down and have a much easier time managing my website. Learning Apache sure was fun, though.

I have limited experience. I haven't done any other website except the one here on neocities. But I do like the control of working with HTML and CSS.
I've written a new entry. Writing little "blog" posts like this is much easier than the way I had it before. I could go on for pages... but I wonder if anyone will read them! Hah.

Interesting take w/Pale Moon! I read somewhere in an article once that if security is your concern and you're running some linux os and palemoon, you're probably the only person doing that within a pretty large radius (unless you live in a major city) and are effectively outing yourself in a shadow profile through the obscurity of the combination. PM worked fine when I used it, but I still don't know what's best

That is an interesting point. I wouldn’t be surprised if I were the only person within 1/2 a mile using Debian and PM, ha. PM is an interesting thing. I like it. But a thing I don’t like: its forum. It came off a bit too toxic/elitist to me. Tried to ask a few questions and tried to discuss politel, but wasn’t met with nearly the same attitudes from most. Unfortunate, no?
Welcome back! Have read through Elaboraet take 2. Good work

I've posted the first real entry on the site. Now *that* was fun to write!

Thanks! The site's simple design comes from my laziness ;). Yes, Debian to me seems to sit in an excellent middle-ground between something totally manual (Slackware or Arch I suppose) and something almost entirely automated (Windows/*buntu/etc). It sure was fun building the system from the ground up like Slackware but with easier tools.
