I’m an autistic and ADHD geek. I’m also an aspiring Linux sysadmin. I love Warframe, The Witcher, forest and ocean facts, cats, and tech. I’m always looking to learn new things. I live by a rule of ‘live and let live’, except when someone is hurting or trying to force their way of life onto others.

  • Not a laptop, but I found a steam deck with a bluetooth keyboard works well for me. It ranges from $400 to $650 new depending on the model, not including accessories. Though a stand and a bluetooth keyboard shouldn’t be too expensive. That said you do have to put up with a smaller screen size and keep track of the keyboard, stand, and possibly a mouse on top of the steam deck itself.

    EDIT: forgot to add, depending on your needs you may be able to skip the keyboard. If all you’re doing is web browsing and posting on social media you could get by with either the on screen keyboard or the kde connect app.





  • I can’t remember what I did to break it, but back when I was in high school I was tinkering right before class and rendered my laptop unbootable. I booted into an Arch Linux USB, chrooted into my install, found the config file I messed with, then reverted it. I booted back into my system and started the bell ringer assignment as quickly as I could. I had one minute left when the teacher walks by, looks at it, and says that I did a really good job. She never knew my laptop was unbootable just 2 minutes earlier.





  • I don’t mind telling the game to use a dedicated graphics card and I don’t mind tinkering in general, but I want the graphics driver to work as expected. For example my Nvidia optimus setup doesn’t always play nice with the external monitor and I’m currently dealing an issue where an nvidia specific setting is needed to get some games working, but that same setting causes issues in other games.







  • I don’t put too much time into it. I simply dedicate chests/lockers to food, gear, and resources. But I don’t usually try to organize types of each item, for example;

    • Seeds usually ends up in both resources and food containers
    • Health kits usually go in gear, but can end up mixed in with resources and in rare cases, food containers
    • Raw resources and crafted materials go in the same containers
    • Power sources and lights end up in both gear and resource containers, but I usually keep them in gear containers
