Sorry for the length of time between major site additons/updates. I've been super busy with work and reapplying to different grad schools finally. Will be doing more writing once things calm down a bit more

fixed a problem where I referred to LXQT as LXDE by mistake. Either way, not a fan of either DE personally, so eh.

@napreviewz what system do you use at the moment? If its Windows, I recommend either Linut Mint or Kubuntu, and if its MacOS, I'd recommend Ubuntu as a first distro! You can always try out in a VM or dualboot to see if its right for you!

keep in mind that it is a totally different operating system (esp if you're coming from windows, since MacOS and Linux are both Unix-likes, which makes them a little more alike than Windows, which is totally non-unix)

but since it is totally different, you won't find an exact "basically just windows" distro, and there is a learning curve no matter what
picked up a thinkpad t420 from facebook market place for 40 bucks, and have installed linux mint on it cause I was feeling nostalgic

so far, I'm shocked at how usable it is with most of everything I do most days. I can watch videos at 1080p 60FPS with only a few dropped frames if I'm multitasking, can play minecraft at at least 30 FPS, and of course can do word processing and coding. That's pretty much all I do on the computer these days, so its all I need

and as expected, it has one of the best keyboards I've ever used on a laptop, as is the case with all the thinkpads I have from this era. For whatever reason, this particular keyboard feels just a bit better than the other thinkpads I've owned, however. Not sure why.
