-#+title: Rebooting My Love Affair with Linux
-#+date:  2022-06-24
-
-** Leaving macOS
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: leaving-macos
-:END:
-As I noted [[/blog/foss-macos-apps][in a recent post]], I have been
-planning on migrating from macOS back to a Linux-based OS. I am happy to
-say that I have finally completed my migration and am now stuck in the
-wonderful world of Linux again.
-
-My decision to leave macOS really came down to just a few important
-things:
-
-- Apple Security (Gatekeeper) restricting me from running any software I
-  want. Even if you disable Gatekeeper and allow software to bypass the
-  rest of the device installation security, you still have to repeat
-  that process every time the allowed software is updated.
-- macOS sends out nearly constant connections, pings, telemetry, etc. to
-  a myriad of mysterious Apple services. I'm not even going to dive into
-  how many macOS apps have constant telemetry on, as well.
-- Lastly, I just /really/ missed the customization and freedom that
-  comes with Linux. Being able to switch to entirely new kernel, OS, or
-  desktop within minutes is a freedom I took for granted when I switched
-  to macOS.
-
-Now that I've covered macOS, I'm going to move on to more exciting
-topics: my personal choice of OS, DE, and various customizations I'm
-using.
-
-** Fedora
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: fedora
-:END:
-After trying a ton of distros (I think I booted and tested around 20-25
-distros), I finally landed on [[https://getfedora.org/][Fedora Linux]].
-I have quite a bit of experience with Fedora and enjoy the =dnf= package
-manager. Fedora allows me to keep up-to-date with recent software (I'm
-looking at you, Debian), but still provides a level of stability you
-don't find in every distro.
-
-In a very close second place was Arch Linux, as well as its spin-off:
-Garuda Linux (Garuda w/ sway is /beautiful/). Arch is great for
-compatibility and the massive community it has, but I have just never
-had the time to properly sit down and learn the methodology behind their
-packaging systems.
-
-Basically, everything else I tested was unacceptable in at least one way
-or another. Void (=glibc=) was great, but doesn't support all the
-software I need. Slackware worked well as a tui, but I wasn't skilled
-enough to get a tiling window manager (WM) working on it.
-
-*** i3
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: i3
-:END:
-One of the reasons I settled on Fedora is that it comes with an official
-i3 spin. Being able to use a tiling WM, such as i3 or sway, is one of
-the biggest things I wanted to do as soon as I adopted Linux again.
-
-I will probably set up a dotfile repository soon, so that I don't lose
-any of my configurations, but nothing big has been configured thus far.
-
-The two main things I have updated in i3wm are natural scrolling and
-binding my brightness keys to the =brightnessctl= program.
-
-**** Natural Scrolling
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: natural-scrolling
-:END:
-You can enable natural scrolling by opening the following file:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
-#+end_src
-
-Within the =40-libinput.conf= file, find the following input sections
-and enable the natural scrolling option.
-
-This is the =pointer= section:
-
-#+begin_src conf
-Section "InputClass"
-        Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
-        MatchIsPointer "on"
-        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
-        Driver "libinput"
-        Option "NaturalScrolling" "True"
-EndSection
-#+end_src
-
-This is the =touchpad= section:
-
-#+begin_src conf
-Section "InputClass"
-        Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
-        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
-        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
-        Driver "libinput"
-        Option "NaturalScrolling" "True"
-EndSection
-#+end_src
-
-**** Enabling Brightness Keys
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: enabling-brightness-keys
-:END:
-Likewise, enabling brightness key functionality is as simple as binding
-the keys to the =brightnessctl= program.
-
-To do this, open up your i3 config file. Mine is located here:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-nano /home/<my-user>/.config/i3/config
-#+end_src
-
-#+begin_src conf
-# Use brightnessctl to adjust brightness.
-bindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec --no-startup-id brightnessctl --min-val=2 -q set 3%-
-bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec --no-startup-id brightnessctl -q set 3%+
-#+end_src
-
-**** =polybar=
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: polybar
-:END:
-Instead of using the default =i3status= bar, I have opted to use
-=polybar= instead (as you can also see in the screenshot above).
-
-My config for this menu bar is basically just the default settings with
-modified colors and an added battery block to quickly show me the
-machine's battery info.
-
-**** =alacritty=
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: alacritty
-:END:
-Not much to say on this part yet, as I haven't configured it much, but I
-installed =alacritty= as my default terminal, and I am using =zsh= and
-the shell.
-
-** Software Choices
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: software-choices
-:END:
-Again, I'm not going to say much that I haven't said yet in other blog
-posts, so I'll just do a quick rundown of the apps I installed
-immediately after I set up the environment.
