This blog is to document my progress with Linux and programming in general. I started off trying to fix my computer which led me down a road of great intrigue into Linux and programming. From this, I also developed a passion to document what I do for two reason; first is to have a history of what I have done and second is leave the possibility open for feedback and suggestions or even simple discussion. Feel free to email me schulidr@protonmail.com or send me a message on here. I can also be found on twitter, mastadon, manjaro forums, arch forums, and IRC all of which I have the same handle.
It has certainly been a while since I have posted to the blog on here or anywhere for that matter. I can't even recall what exactly I had last written about since the last post. Nevertheless, I am writing again to update a little on what has been going on lately in my little Linux world...
As previously stated, since I don't recall what I last wrote about, some of this might be repetitive. I have a feeling most, if not all of this will be new. Anyway, I made a decision to go for...
Trying to generate the autorun options for starting i3. I'd like my optimal desktop to just start without me doing anything

which is where I am running into issues
- I have the first two workspaces saved as .json files and...

Some thoughts about recent stuff happening with Manjaro and Linux in general. There have been some
issues with Manjaro updates that have caused some major issues to newer users because they didn't
know wwhat they were doing or they hadn't read the update announcements prior to doing their
updates. This led me to think about a couple of things regarding updates, user-types, distribution
assessment, backups, and graphical user interfaces. I'll write a little further...
I set about on a quest recently to scratch the itch of completing an install of Arch on my older laptop. I had tried it in the past with no luck and I was reluctant to do it again but through someone who has become somewhat of a mentor and friend to, I was persuaded to try it one more time. My void install that mimicked the look of an old Solaris machine would soon become a dual-boot project bigger than I thought was possible.
Starting out I needed a plan of what I wanted to do...
