I kinda started by rawdogging it, but it was just because I wanted to go further into my privacy journey and use Linux to get away from Windows telemetry. I knew to start on an easy kinda foolproof distro, so I picked Fedora Silverblue cause it’s atomic. But after figuring out it’s REALLY hard to tinker with when trying to use some slightly obscure software/make certain tricks work, I just switched to reg Fedora and never looked back.
A few months later I took a Linux course at my college, and I loved it, although it focused more on Cybersecurity and administration stuff rather than just basic Linux usage and how to get around. We we’re solely in the terminal, nothing about LibreOffice or the like. It was also a Kali VM we were using, which makes sense for the purposes of the class.
But taking that class really made it easier for me to be confident with the CLI, and it also helped give me Ubuntu/Debian knowledge to make managing my Proxmox easier. So while I could’ve definitely “rawdogged it”, having a structured environment to fuck up in but also get someone else to help you was great.
TIL Klarna is Swedish. But they’ve been popular in the US since before/around COVID.
Anyway, Klarna is a shitty by-now-pay-later (BNPL) payment service that allows you to “finance” everyday pruchases on websites. Don’t you love it when you go into debt over paying for your Temu clothes, your video game DLC, and your Amazon Fresh purchases?
