Yo, this quarter is still ongoing. My goal is simply: to survive, to build, to create, and never give up!

This month continues my obsession with refactoring my system from scratch with Linux + Nix paradigm. I’m obsessed af, forget the day, forget the sun. Being unemployed gives me the power and energy to learn alien things.
Switching to a deep Linux trench and NixOS from Windows is not recommended for any normal person who has a life. But I simply won’t give up. I have experience with Linux in my childhood and teenage years, so it feels nostalgic to me, making me more and more craving for building my pretty system that resonates “waow, that’s literally me.”
Switching to Linux taught me a better system approach, simply by giving me file naming conventions. In Windows, I realized I was trapped in bad system habits and stockholm syndrome. So yeah, trashed Windows downfall never been so good.
This month, I’m ricing Linux with an unholy amount of tinker: desktop environments, custom window managers, from retro to modern, finding what fits and is ideal for my needs.
The best part is finishing the Rinascita main quest in Wuthering Waves. The story is absolute cinema. And yes, I’ve been playing on NixOS the entire month :D
Somehow I shared my thoughts on Xitter and went a bit viral, venting my thoughts as a story is simply fun, and the response from the internet goblins is kinda stinky and funny to me.
What a nerd month XD

I am slowly restarting my life habits after the operating system chaos. Starting a routine of morning runs. Getting back into creating, sketching, and building things. Something that was delayed, which I should have done in September, I did this month.
This month marks three months since I hopped onto NixOS. My system is starting to run stable, it feels like my old Windows 10, but by miles better and more hackable.
I’m filling content on my website again after 7-month stalled because first I need to understand what it feels like to exist on the internet genuinely. Depression was also a big reason. But hey, I still got the spirit!
Changing the brand @kirbara2000 to @main_experiment and this website from kirbara.com to experimenting.website, because I don’t really like my name slapped on the surface hehe, and embracing experimenting sounds cool and fun.
This month I gained 1000 followers on Twitter, which was one of my biggest quests this year. I’m very happy, but I’m not that proud of it. The awkward thing is why the people who follow are those involved in tech, AI, engineers, founders. I don’t know how, but I’m really really glad, I love nerding about it, so thank you very much!
I can’t wait for the future! Let’s gooo!
