hello from arch linux babey!!! some of this post is grabbed from https://bastardous.space/posts/
hey what's up it's ya boi. there's been a few things going on lately in my life, so the website's been kind of at the back of my mind. on top of life stuff, i've lost interest in digital art since i got a fancy set of escoda watercolor brushes for $3 at the thrift store. haha. so.
surgery's been done and over for awhile now, couple of months maybe? my jaw bones are healing, and i'm waiting for those to finish doing what they do so i can get my dentures in. it's kind of weird being a 27 year old with dentures. but that's life, and genetics.
trying to get natural-looking texture in digital art makes me want to scream and shit my pants. it's a nice playground to practice anatomy and colour theory, but i'm mostly trained in watercolour. and irl mixed media. i'll gather together some pictures of the stuff i've been doing lately (junk journalling! plein air!) to post probably on bastardous.space and here, once i figure out how to embed images.
i thought webdev was the coolest thing ever until i realized editing the code in the browser makes it so everyone can see your changes on the feed! i craved that rush of being able to play with pretty colours and element positioning and everything. also, ubuntu was really heavy on my chromebook-based laptop. to cut down on RAM usage (and hopefully get my graphics card to play nicer with basic tasks), i got arch working on my computer. specifically endeavourOS, because i don't want to an arch install from scratch.
i am really starting to understand why arch users are Like That though. the raw power it gives you. it's dizzying. my beloved <3
fr tho....i hate intel
idk. it's fun, and i love tinkering. i've always wanted a device that fits my exact specifications, because i'm pretty nitpicky. lo and behold i have further immersed myself into nerd culture. i suppose i was always meant to end up here.
quick update on that, since i've mentioned it before - i'm on the patch now! it's been about three weeks since i quit, the hard part is over. :) i feel a lot healthier and happier now.
Hey, cool write-up :)
Arch is amazing for low-power machines, a bit like gentoo but for sane people ;)
And damn, gemini feels like a really cool place^^
Hope you're doing well!
