Geek speak: today, Labor Day, we are all free here. What did I do?
Reinstall Gentoo, openrc, uefi, xfs, encrypted rootfs and using ugrd as initramfs.
Making notes about that now slowly turns into a personal quick reference guide for such an install. I've done around 20 Gentoo installs so far, always reinventing the wheel. Many, many ah yes moments 😂
Installing xorg et all now (somehow I didnt dare to go the xlibre way yet), it has been a great day, very well spent!

I can honestly tell you that, after spending months, possibly years on the Wayland side, going back to Xorg is indeed sheer hell. I got my big-bear suit out and hammered myself through it all, but man, what a chore.
Problem: dwm is so fucking good, patched et al, and Larry is up and running again. Hard to beat that. Tomorrow: all things setup. But st and rofi are already online, so i'm looking forward to that klutzing.

The vibrant landscape. I can't give it up. So many exciting things happening:
- RakuOS: immutable bootc image, but with a normal package manager. And Cosmic.
- Project Bluefin: the Dakota alpha is out, which is based on Gnome OS. So no more distro involved, pure Gnome as the basis.
- Butterknife: as mentioned yesterday Debian Stable, btrfs snapshots and a number of window managers to choose from (Qtile, Awesome, dwm, Sway, SwayFX, i3). Plus good looks and many, many scripts to install additional sw (Helium, Zen, ghostty etc etc).
- TunaOS: the bootc concept for enterprise Linux, based on Alma and CentOS. But also Bonito, which provides Fedora44 and Niri!

Simplified slstatus to what I actually use. Keybinds for applications back from sxhkd into config.def.h. Keys good again, VoidLinux updated. Thanks to the collective hangover after Tet I could do all this at work. Productive (finally) 😜

A couple of days in the countryside of Vietnam has a refreshing effect on screentime. Family, friends, eating all the time and sufficient boredom.
I'm seriously considering winding down to this rhythm. Can assure you all our digi-stuff is essentially totally unimportant. No laptops seen here, and 8 year old smartphones are sufficient to do anything.

Void, with encrypted zfs, on the laptop. Dwm or River. Tbc. But Gentoo dwm is calling. Possibly before Tet.
NixOS with KDE on the N150. Solid.
Finally revived the old NUC with Slackware Tilers: Sway and Mango. And Dank. Great stuff.
The Thinkpad that wasn't sold: this will be either TileOS or Hatchery, a project by Troutcobbler, an old ArchLabs mate. Both Debian, tiling wm's. Cool. Check them out.
The last one will be after Tet, I'm off for a couple of days for a shitload of beer and karaoke 🍻😜
Keep our Fediverse a good place and enjoy my silence 😆

05::55 Saigon. The days just before Tet (our Lunar New Year) are my favorite ones. Streets empty out, everyone is happy to celebrate. On to the coffee ☕
