Uses
Even though the state of tech is kind of depressing, I still love my gadgets and silly little apps.
Desktop
A so-called GAMING laptop that I managed to snatch with a discount. Compared to my previous desktops, I never had much trouble running the games I wanted to play, however the battery life is atrocious (Can't even last 2 hours) and becomes completely unusable and sluggish when disconnected from the wall.

Mobile
Bought specifically for use with GrapheneOS. It serves its purpose, but in the summer it frequently overheats, and the battery life is not anything to write home about either.

Linux Distro Timeline™
Thought it would be funny to make a note of my distro hopping journey ☺️.
Most of it happened in my first few weeks of using Linux. After that I settled with Fedora and continued using it ever since in one form or another.
- Zorin OS (2021)
- Linux Mint (2021)
- KDE Neon (2021)
- Fedora Workstation (2021-2024)
- Bluefin, based on Fedora Silverblue (2024-2025)
- secureblue, still Fedora Silverblue :P (2025-)
