+As of today, my summer holiday has started. And with that comes a lot of freetime to mess around with computers! I have planned some projects for the next 6 weeks so I thought I would make a post on what I have planned!
+
+***
+
+## Operating system plans
+<img class="right-image" width="270" src="/images/summertux.png">
+At some point, I will try out <a href="https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/">Linux from scratch</a> because I have heard it is a good way to see how a Linux system is constructed while making it. I would also like to try creating my own distro of some kind and maybe ship it too.
+
+While we are on the topic of Linux, I am going to try out <a href="https://www.gentoo.org/">Gentoo</a> to see if it is any good. All I really know is that it takes longer to install than <a href="https://archlinux.org/">Arch Linux</a> and you need to compile all the programs. I'm looking forward to that experience!
+
+On top of trying Gentoo and Linux From Scratch, I will also try out <a href="https://www.freebsd.org/">FreeBSD</a> just to see how it is. Though I am not planning to switch to it because nothing can beat Linux! However, I have heard BSD is really good for web servers, and I know you can run Nextcloud on it, so maybe I will try something like that out to see if its any good.

+This is my 'testing computer' where I will be doing all this on.

+## Programming
+### Learning programming languages
+Over the next 6 weeks I will also try and dedicate some more time into learning the C programming language, and I will be trying to learn some more Python because it is easier for smaller projects and I am planning on trying to make a few small programs and see how much I can do.
+### Fakefetch
+I will try to give Fakefetch weekly updates to improve its functionality because I really enjoy developing Fakefetch. It is something simple, yet it expands my knowledge of Linux and the C programming language. For example, I could add an IP option to Fakefetch where you can display your IP address, or I could add a battery option. There are lots of things to do with Fakefetch, so I am excited to work on it more!
+### Dotfiles
+There is not much I will do with my dotfiles, to be honest, because so far I have my ideal setup. Maybe I will add some more bits to Neovim and perhaps create a custom color theme, but that's all I can really think of. Of course, I will add little bits and maybe update some of the programs on the install list, but as of today, there is not much I will change apart from maybe some patches for DWM.
+### Website
+I will try to do daily updates to this website. Making this website is one of the most fun projects I have ever undertaken because it is just enjoyable to write down ideas and projects I have done. I will do my best to make this website more mobile-friendly; in fact, I am going to try to do this tomorrow and see how it goes.
+
+## Writing
+In the next few weeks, I will be trying to compile all my notes about Linux into a small book that anybody can read! In this book, there will be information about different commands, how to start in the Linux world, and more! So far, I have finished the first part, but there is way more to go. If you are interested, keep an eye on the projects page for any updates!
+***
+## Conclusion
+That is all for now, as you can tell I am going to be busy but I am going to love the next few weeks! Thank you for reading.
