-## Leaving macOS
-
-As I noted [in a recent post](/blog/foss-macos-apps), 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
-
-After trying a ton of distros (I think I booted and tested around 20-25 
-distros), I finally landed on [Fedora Linux](https://getfedora.org/). 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
-
-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.

 To do this, open up your i3 config file. Mine is located here:
 
-```sh
+#+begin_src sh
 nano /home/<my-user>/.config/i3/config
-```
+#+end_src
 
-```conf
+#+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%+

-#### `polybar`
-
-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`
-
-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

-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
