Hi, welcome back! There’s been a little bit more refocusing on my end however, I did manage to find the time to work on projects. No “Zero Days” for me 😄️!

Hi, how are you doing? I hope that you’ve been well!

In case you were wondering, yes, there wasn’t a newsletter issue last week. There was an issue taking up a lot for my time last week. I’ve resolved it now so this shouldn’t be a problem any more. There’ll probably be a blog post detailing what happened in the near future.

For the past several months. I’ve been busy adapting to several changes to my life.

Happy New Year! There have been some big changes since my last blog post.

Back to Windows

I switched from hopping between Linux distros to settling with Windows 11. I really value a predictable, well-supported environment. Windows 11 has also fixed a lot of the complaints I had about aesthetics of Windows 10. I’m pleased with what they are doing with Windows 11.

Web Dev to Game Dev

2 years later, here are the things I personally use to help me get work done!

My System

I own a Starbook Mk V. I wanted the most seamless experience possible with the OS of my choice: elementary OS and wow, it delivers! It's fast, smooth, gets regular firmware updates over fwupd and support is great (in terms of drivers, touchpad support and customer support).

Despite how slim it is, battery life is great. I average around 6-8 hours but on other operating systems like Pop!_OS 21.10, I have gotten closer to the advertised maximum of 11 hours (around 8-10 hours).
