-## 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.
-
-1.  Natural Scrolling
-
-    You can enable natural scrolling by opening the following file:
-
-    ```sh
-    sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
-    ```
-
-    Within the `40-libinput.conf` file, find the following
-    input sections and enable the natural scrolling option.
-
-    This is the `pointer` section:
-
-    ```conf
-    Section "InputClass"
-            Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
-            MatchIsPointer "on"
-            MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
-            Driver "libinput"
-            Option "NaturalScrolling" "True"
-    EndSection
-    ```
-
-    This is the `touchpad` section:
-
-    ```conf
-    Section "InputClass"
-            Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
-            MatchIsTouchpad "on"
-            MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
-            Driver "libinput"
-            Option "NaturalScrolling" "True"
-    EndSection
-    ```
-
-2.  Enabling Brightness Keys
-
-    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:
-
-    ```sh
-    nano /home/<my-user>/.config/i3/config
-    ```
-
-    ```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%+
-    ```
-
-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.
-
-4.  `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 I set up the environment.
