Abandoning Windows for Linux - Part 4
Over these five days I transformed my workflow. I learned how to manage time and notes with Org-agenda, linked my journal to Org-roam, wrote admin scripts, fell into the VPN transparency rabbit hole, considered building my own mail server, and wrestled with the absurd verification hurdles of modern social media.

Now running a minimal desktop with maximum trauma and a newfound sense of superiority.
Abandoning Windows for Linux - Introduction
