Currently I have two machines with Linux. One is my main desktop, where I run Debian Bookworm with Gnome. Second is my new Thinkpad laptop, where I installed Slackware 15 with KDE. This post is only Slackware. As you may know it is my first Linux distributive ever. I did not use it for a while. So I decided to make it my main OS on the laptop. Installation is pretty trivial and it did not take a long time to do.

Today, suddenly, I felt compelled to write about Miss X. As is customary in the 21st century, I met her online. She was quite intriguing, and we struck up a conversation. However, soon enough, the dialogue fizzled out, and we never managed to arrange a real meeting. The lessons from this mundane tale are simple: meet in person as soon as possible; I’m not adept at communicating via the internet. In real life, my communication skills aren’t stellar either, but I believe I can present myself in a better light.

A poignant and concise tale of life and death, of subjectivity. The protagonist loses his mother and decides to make a film about her, capturing all the events of her final journey. This setup, perhaps the most crucial, will likely unfold closer to the story’s end. Spoilers are futile. Each of us fails to see the real world; we are all surrounded by our own misconceptions and subjective perceptions. There’s a certain peculiarity to this manga, but it only enhances its appeal.

An interesting psychological story about a boy. The most important thing is psychology, everything else is just surroundings. Warhammer connection was super fun. It showed people behind the mask of the Empire’s servants. Everyone justifies themselves. Even I have this weakness, I also sometimes manipulate people. Liked the psychologist. Don’t read if you are a Warhammer fan! Finished: 2023 Rating: 8

Humanistic story about the future, aliens, and journeys. Questions are raised on how to win the war, or rather how to avoid it. A strong anti-war narrative. Finished: May 2023 Rating: 10
