Summer holiday!

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

+At some point, I will try out Linux from scratch 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 Gentoo to see if it is any good. All I really know is that it takes longer to install than Arch Linux 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 FreeBSD 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.
