Yipee I can be a nerd about linux again.

And I finally have an "adult" type of job.

YEAHH I'M FINALLY OUT OF FOOD SERVICE. I'll talk about it in my now VERY late monthly blog but other than that it's very boring professional data entry in car rentals and there is a shit ton of down time since it's in an airport in my small ass town.

So it's pretty much limited to business people. and Military. and cause of that I do need a means of doing more productive things than just being on my phone at work. so I had to get another laptop.

cause my last laptop just died on me. and it has had problems for a long time before that. 

And I'm a cheap bastard that cant part from 500-800 dollars for a decent laptop

I went down to the pawn and peeped out some laptops and actually had a nice chat with the computer tech about linux. I had told him what I was planning on doing and pointed me twords the business focused laptops.

I peeped out an old Acer Aspire. it's from 2017 and just like other budget laptops... it majorly struggles with windows 11 so there's no point in dual booting. so I'm just doing what I know which is Ubuntu with XFCE WM. with Wine and Proton on Steam this could do all I would really need. plus this thing has a whole freaking terabyte.......

But it's a disk drive. so that kinda explained why installing Ubuntu took like a solid hour. i just thought it was a cpu or overheating issue. 

the Cpu is for sure not a problem for me. since my fav part of linux is making lower spec tech more capable. this runs my typa games perfectly. my typa games being old PC games. but since I now have a full terabyte to play around with I could finally start thinking about more beefy games. or.... a shit ton more songs on Etterna.
