Using Linux Mint As My Daily Driver: Four Years On. This Year’s Theme: Settling Down.

9 minute read

Well, its that time of year again, and though I didn’t leave much time to write this article, I did take the time to plan it out beforehand. Not that many things about my use of Linux Mint as a daily driver have changed from last year, but I’m still looking back and checking on the differences. It’s been a fun look back on the years, and I hope you enjoy reading it!

I’m not the biggest user of Vim/Neovim… but it became REALLY useful for a funded project I did

19 minute read

For that same project I hosted a conference presentation for back in July, I decided to start using Vim/Neovim (Neovim specifically) for a very specific reason that ended up being very useful to me for said project. This article goes into depth about how I got to using Vim/Neovim, and also how I continued using Neovim afterwards from there. This isn’t going to be a tutorial, though I will show the most useful Vim/Neovim commands I’ve learnt so far (as of the time this article goes live). Hope you enjoy it!
