“Windows is shit.” “That’s garbage, don’t use it.” “I don’t understand why anyone uses that crap.” ~Toxic nerds on the internet, since forever.
In the nearly six years I’ve been using Linux, there’s one thing I’ve learned that stands out above everything else: many of its users are wholly convinced they’ve found something that is utterly and unequivocally superior to anything that spawns from the realm of the evil Microsoft and Apple megacorps.
They’re convinced that one day, surely the world will wake up and realize how low their standards are, and be freed by the magic of Linux. So…
Stuff. You’ve Got It.
It’s 2021 and you’ve just realized you have a crap-ton of files and folders all over the place because, let’s face it, what else has there been to do this past year other than sit around and hoard memes?

As someone who’s been more than comfortable bouncing between various versions of Windows, macOS, and “Linux” throughout the years, this was just another opportunity to do things in a different way, and see things in a new light. There’s something incredibly appealing to me about how we get things done, and why we use our…
On August 22, 2020 I made a bold tweet about an experiment I wanted to conduct. A personal little endeavour to use and better understand the web-focused workflow that Chrome OS devices (Chromebooks) suit best. While I did have a couple of Chromebooks laying around the house, I didn’t have any current models with high-specs, so I opted to install something on my primary laptop called CloudReady, a Chromium OS-based operating system that is fairly similar in most regards. I was going to use this as my primary operating system for at least a week, getting all of my normal…
