Intro
So I thought I’d create a blog so I can access the things I find and share the stuff I know about Linux. I don’t know a lot about Linux, but what I do know I’ll throw on here.
If it’s your first distro and you’ve opted for something like Ubuntu - awesome. Most things will be ready to go for you. And only a little bit of web searching for answers should be needed (much like you would with Windows). As long as you don’t need to get into the weeds for whatever reason that is.
However, if like me, you need to do a little bit more than the average user, you have to start digging about looking for answers. Sometimes the answers are old and sometimes they’re just plain wrong. Either way, you end up spending probably more time than you thought in sorting out issues you have.
Notes
8 months ago, when I switched to Linux full-time as my daily driver, I quickly started to build up lots of notes. I organised them on Obsidian . This is an amazing system and it’s all synced from my phone to my desktop, whenever they’re on the same network. It’s worked well (a plan on doing a post on my setup soon), but I thought it would also be a good idea to put them on a website. Maybe someone will find some use for the things I’ve found. And being a person who is starting to really like the idea of FOSS it made sense.
Jekyll plug!
A quick note about the website. It uses jekyll which is an open source framework for statically generating websites. No PHP, no MySQL. Just some html and CSS. The posts themselves are created with something called markdown . I plan to do a quick post on installing jekyll on Arch Linux at some point in the near future. It will be based on an article by David from dajhub . I am writing this article maybe 10 minutes after following his guide to get the blog up and running. So thank-you David!
Now what?
So what can you expect to find? Yeah I really don’t know yet. Of course, I’ll share solutions I’ve found and tricks I’ve learnt. Maybe bookmark the site or something. Up to you!
