It’s obvious that I haven’t posted anything here in a long time. Aside from having higher priorites, I’ve had a lot less free time since getting a full-time job. What can I say? Some things are more important than a blog.
I also have been preparing to make some changes to my web server setup. Once I have that update out of the way, I will start making the occasional post again. (I actually have a backlog of unedited posts, so that should not be too hard.)

Over the last several years, I have used 6 Linux distributions. I have compiled a list, mostly from my personal experiences, of the pros and cons for each one. It’s not a comprehensive list by any means, but you may find it helpful if you want to try a different Linux distribution.

I have finally created a new Hugo theme, aptly named Blackout. As of now, my blog has been converted over to it. Consider it the spiritual successor to my blog’s previous theme, which was a clunky, hacked-together beast. Blackout, on the other hand, has clean and understandable code. On top of that, the CSS styling is all original!

Linux-based operating systems are the best thing since sliced bread, but you do have to think of people using other OSes like Windows. With Java or Python, that’s pretty much a non-issue. If you write code in the C family languages or Fortran, you have to compile for the exact platform your software will run on. You could go through the trouble to spin up a Windows VM, but why leave the comfort of Linux behind? You can cross-compile instead!
