My minimal desktop as of Apr 21 2026. Not sure how long its gonna stay this way but this is good for now.

This song has a really nice tune to it: https://open.spotify.com/track/69wEYimYC9XP2wRX20NPSz?si=dd0d79cb708f428f

@jessie probably a good idea to get a tetanus shot. I was bitten by a cat when i was a kid and i somehow didnt turn into a catman...

@contrapunctus meanwhile I had my haircut 3 weeks ago and I already look like someone who got lost in a forest for a year.

@vivekanandanks do it in my style - mostly images + memes and a pinch of text here and there. Images make the presentation a lot more bearable

No matter what distro I try out. I eventually come back to Debian again. Seems like the saying “Debian is the end of distrohoppers” is indeed true

I thought my SSD died shortly after using that hotel lobby pc to make a bootable usb. My bag which had my thinkpad in it, fell from a 4 ft height inside the train. I booted the thinkpad today only to realise that the "dead" SSD somehow got resurrected.....

@vivekanandanks I tried doing something like that at MiniDebConf Navi Mumbai and it flopped too hard because ocean of text in a presentation isn't my style. It was an information overload. Neither the audience understood what I tried to convey, nor me who tried to cram as much as info i could under 30 mins. My presentation had 50 slides btw

@disaster2life @praveen @billchenchina me too XD

@badrihippo Ah yes finally someone else like me who has little to no text in his presentation slides.

@disaster2life it had a i3 2100 chip and it only had 7gb of free space on the internal drive. It only had two functional IO ports and Shit would stop working if I disconnect the keyboard. It was a miracle as to how I got my bootable usb out of that broken computer

This day only keeps getting more weird as I progress. It’s almost as if it wants me to put through trouble just to teach me what I can do on my own.

You know you fucked up when you gotta make a Linux bootable usb using a broken hotel lobby computer while on a trip

Installed FreeBSD on my laptop but at what cost? I can't use wifi because my pc crashes the moment i try to enable wifi. My wifi card is supported though. Atleast I got to learn some new stuff yesterday.

Gearing up for a baremetal FreeBSD install soon. Turns out that my ThinkPad's realtek network card is now supported by freebsd which is good news because if something like a network card is supported then it's very likely that the other drivers are too!

@niyabits which org?

@niyabits you got into outreachy?

I managed to nuke my entire DE while trying to uninstall sway. In the process of reinstalling the whole OS. I should block r/unixporn at this point, those sway/hyprland setups are too tempting....
