-I run Fedora Linux with the GNOME desktop environment.
+## Hardware
+First off, I don’t believe in having more than one personal computer, as I think it’s wasteful, especially when your profession will provide you with an e-waste work laptop whether you like it or not. As such, I’m an eGPU apologist! My setup consists of a laptop connected to a Thunderbolt dock on one tb4 controller and an NVIDIA eGPU on the other. Speaking of…
+### Laptop
+- Framework Laptop, Batch 6
+    - Repairable, upgradeable, and wholly yours. This thing is amazing. 
+    - I got in just early enough to be an "early adopter", but late enough that I was past the teething problems. 
+    - CPU: i5-1135g7
+    - RAM: 2x16gb of Taiwan’s finest 3200MHz
+    - SSD: 2tb gen3
+    - Expansion Cards:
+        - 1x 3D printed and custom magnetic charger adapter
+        - 3x usb-c, to be swapped with any of usb-a, hdmi, microSD, or storage as needed
+So yeah, it’s pretty cool. Here are my peripherals:
+### Dock
+- Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock (non-Chroma)
+    - A buncha ports in one place. Really solid DAC for the headphones too, better than the onboard. 
+### eGPU
+- ADT-Link R43SG-TB3
+    - It was smaller than a core x chroma
+- Dell DA-2
+    - eBay’s finest
+- GTX1650
+    - Upgrade Soon(tm), it’s really not good. I’ll probably go to the power limit of the DA-2, so like a 3060ti or so
+## OS/Configuration
+I run Fedora Linux with the GNOME desktop environment. I was a longtime Windows 10 user, and dabbled in Linux a bit, but eventually got fed up enough with Windows that I swapped for good.
 
+Previously, I’ve also daily driven Linux Mint. You can read more about my history with Linux on [[on-linux|its dedicated page]].
+### On User Interface
+I’ve daily driven XFCE, Budgie, Unity, and KDE before. No DE really caught my eye in a way that feels both intuitive and productive until GNOME. The overview is such a neat concept that’s performant, useful for rapid task switching, and pretty. I recommend the Blur My Shell extension for best results, as well as an extension that gives you trackpad gestures for your windowing system. 
+- Little tip for productivity: if you use gestures, throw each new window on a different workspace and swipe instead of alt-tabbing. 
+### Config!
 I use a [bare git repository](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles) to backup all my small configuration files that are scattered throughout my computer. 
-- Sidebar: I deviated from the tutorial and called my alias `dots` instead of `config`. It just felt better and there was no chance of confusion with Fedora's `configure` system utility.

+#### Config Hell
+- There are a lot of little tweaks I do to software to make it fully useful to me, which is the one argument I’ve ever raised *against* compartmentalizing through Flatpak, Snap, etc. 
+    - I have a bunch of Flatpak programs with absolutely no settings sync or remotely near the capability to sync, so what do I do when I want to migrate?
+- Hey kids wanna see a dead husk of a man? Come find me three hours after I update my Neovim install. Dear lord, that thing breaks OFTEN.

+## Housekeeping
+I'm going to start tracking lists of changes that happen during the previous month! This should provide a nice little bump to the RSS feed since I edit pages post-creation a lot.
+
+There'll also be a small blog component to it.
+- Law school is back in full swing! I'm juggling a lot of computer projects as well as coursework, so this site might slow a bit.
+- I did a vegan cheese party with some friends (they're vegan, not me) and made a cheese platter, margherita pizza, and some fried mozz sticks. Here's the result:

+- I fiddled with the [[index|homepage]] a bit.
+- I added comments with Remark42, and documented it [[Projects/Obsidian/quartz-comments|here]].
